ASTM B272-01

Standard Specification for Copper Flat Products with Finished (Rolled or Drawn) Edges (Flat Wire and Strip)

SCOPE
1.1 This specification establishes the requirements for copper products, flat wire and strip, with rolled or drawn finished edges produced for general application.
1.1.1 The product is produced in UNS Copper Nos. C10100, C10200, C10300, C10500, C10700, C10800, C11000, C12200, and C14200 unless otherwise established by agreement between manufacturer and purchaser.
1.2 Units—The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.Note 1—When a copper other than that listed in 1.1.1 is designated by the purchaser, the resulting product shall conform to the physical, mechanical, performance, dimensional, and tolerance requirements per agreement between the manufacturer and purchaser.
