1.1 This specification establishes requirements for coppersilicon rod, bar, and shapes for UNS Copper Alloys C65100, C65500, and C66100. NOTE 1—Material for hot forging is covered by Specification B124/ B124M. NOTE 2—For ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code applications, see Specification SB-98 in Section II of that code.
1.2 Units—The values stated in either SI units or inchpound units are to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, SI units are shown in brackets. The values stated in each system are not necessarily exact equivalents; therefore, to ensure conformance with the standard, each system shall be used independently of the other and values from the two systems shall not be combined.
1.3 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
