ASTM B152/B152M-06a

Standard Specification for Copper Sheet, Strip, Plate, and Rolled Bar

SCOPE
1.1 This specification establishes the requirements for copper sheet, strip, plate, and rolled bar produced from the following coppers.Note 1
Each of the coppers listed has unique properties that can make it suitable for specific applications. The purchaser should consult with the supplier to determine which copper would be best suited for the intended application.Note 2
This specification is not intended to establish requirements for material rolled to ounce-weight thicknesses. Such material is defined in Specification B 370.
Plates for locomotive fireboxes are defined in Specification B 11.
Flat copper products with finished (rolled or drawn) edges (flat wire and strip) are defined in Specification B 272.
1.1.1 When a specific copper is not identified in the contract or purchase order, the supplier may furnish product from any of the listed coppers.
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound or SI units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values in each system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in nonconformance with the specification.
The following safety hazards caveat only pertains to the test method portion, Section of this specification:  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.
