copper sheet, strip, plate, and rolled bar. Each of the coppers listed as follows has a unique property, making it suitable for specific applications. The purchaser in consultation with the supplier shall choose and specify the copper best suited to his application. In the case where the copper is for general, rather than specific application, and the purchaser does not specify which copper is wanted, one of the coppers listed which is readily available shall be supplied.

Current edition approved Sept. lO, 1997. Published March 1998. Originally published as B 152 - 42 T. Last previous edition B 152 - 97. 2 For ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code applications see related Specification SB-152 in Section 11 of that Code. 3 The UNS system for copper and copper alloys (see Practice E 527) is a simple expansion of the former standard designation system accomplished by the addition of a prefix "C" and a suffix "00." The suffix can be used to accommodate composition variations of the base alloy. 1 Thic

4. Ordering Information 4.1 Orders for material under this specification shall include the following: 4.1.1 Quantity, 4.1.2 Copper UNS No. (Section 1). When Alloys CI0400, C10500, C10700, CI1300, CII400, CI1600, or CI2300, the amount of silver in ounces per ton, 4.1.3 Temper (Section 7), 4.1.4 Dimensions: thickness, width, and weight (Section 14), 4.1.5 How furnished (straight lengths 01' coils), 4.1.6 Length (Section 14), .. 4.1.7 Weight of coils: coil weights or coil size limitations, if required, . 4.1.8 Type of e9ge, if required; slit, sheared, sawed, sqUare edges, rounded comers, rounded edges, or full-rounded edges (see 14.1.6), 4.1.9 Whether the resistivity test is required for either CopperUNS Nos. ClOl00, C10200, C10300, CllOOO, or C12000 (Section 13), 4.1.10 Embrittlement test (Section 12), 4.1.11 ASTM specification number. 4.2 The following requirements shall be specified if applicable: 4.2.1 Certification, if required (Section 15), 4.2.2 Mill test report, if required (Section 16), 4.2.3 Resistivity test for Copper UNS Nos.

7.1.1 Special or nonstandard tempers are subject to negotiation between manufacturer and purchaser (see 4.1.3).

7.2 As Hot-Rolled Temper (M20): 7.2.1 The temper of hot-rolled copper sheet and plate shall.be that produced by hot rolling. 7.2.1.1 Plate not specified for Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code . Applications are generally available in the M20 temper. " 7.3 Annealed Temper (0): 7.3.1 The temper of hot-rolled and annealed copper Sheet and plate Shall be that produced by hot rolling and subsequent annealing (025). 7.3.1.1 Plates specified for Boiler and Pressure ,Vessel Code applications shall be furnished in the 025 temper. 7.3.2 The standard temperS of Cold-rolled annealed copper Sheet, strip, and plate are deSignated as follows: 060, soft anneal and 068, deep drawing anneal. ' NQTE 4-Soft-anneal temper is suitable for most industrial users of copper such as forming, spinning, and simple drawing operations where close control of temper is not essential. Deep-dnlwing anneal temper is eSpecially suited for very severe drawing and forming operations where maximum dUctility and Close control of temper is required.

8. Mechanical Requirements of Cold-Worked and OotRolled Tempers 8.1 The tension test shall be the standard test for all tempers of cold-rolled, hot-rolled, and hot-rolled and annealed cOpper sheet, strip, plate, and rolled bar, and acceptance or rejection shall depend only on the tensile properties, which shall conform to the requirements prescribed in 8.3 and Table 2. 8.2 Test specimens Shall be taken to conform, where applicable, to Section 6 of Test Methods E 8. Tension test specimens shall be taken so that the longitudinal axis of such specimens is parallel to the direction of rolling. Plate ite:m test-five specimens shall be taken either from the excess portion of the plate or from separate pieces produced under the same specification and temper. 8.3 'Hot-rolled.' and hot-rolled and . amiealed plates of Copper UNS' Nos. Cll000 and C12200 shall have 40 % Iilinimum elongation in 2 in., and hot-tolled and hot~rolled and annealed plaresofCopper UNS No; C14200 Shall have 45. % ininmnpneiongation in 2 m. '

5. General Requireme~ts 5.1 Material furnished under this specification shall confOIm to the applicable requirements of the clirtent edition of Specification B 248. 6. Chemical Composition 6.1 The materials shall oonform to the chemical requirements prescribed in Table 1. 6.2 Iflimits for unnanied elements are reqUired, they shall be established and analysis required by agreement between manufacturer or supplier and purchaser.

9. Grain Size Requirements of Cold-Rolled Annealed Tempers 9.1 Grain size shall be the standard test for cold-rolled annealed copper Sheet and 'strip, and acceptance or rejection shall depend only on the grain size. The average grain size of each of two samples of annealed material, as determined on a plane parallel to the surface of the sheet or strip, shall be within the limits prescribed m Table 3.
