ASTM B694-02

Standard Specification for Copper, Copper-Alloy, and Copper-Clad Stainless Steel (CCS), and Copper-Clad Alloy Steel (CAS) Sheet and Strip for Electrical Cable Shielding

SCOPE
1.1 This specification establishes the requirements of copper, copper alloy, copper-clad stainless steel (CCS), and copper-clad alloy steel (CAS) materials, sheet, and strip, in various thicknesses, for use as electrostatic or electromagnetic shielding for insulated power, control, instrumentation, and communication cables.
Note 1—See Specification B 736, for related standards for aluminum-based shielding materials.
1.2 The products covered are the following:Copper or Copper Alloy UNS No.Type of ProductsC11000copperC19400copper-iron alloyC22000copper-zinc alloy (commercial bronze)C23000copper-zinc alloy (red brass)C66400copper-zinc-iron-cobalt alloyC66410copper-zinc-iron alloyC66430copper-zinc-iron-tin alloyC71000cupro-nickel 20 %...copper-clad stainless steel (CCS)...copper-clad alloy steel (CAS)
1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are the standard, except for temperature and grain size which are given in SI units. Values in parentheses are for information only.
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
