Scope

1.1 This specification2 establishes the requirements for copper sheet, strip, plate, and rolled bar. Each of the coppers listed below 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. Copper Previous UNS No.3 Designation'1 Type of Copper C10100 OFE Oxygen-free electronic C 10200* OF Oxygen-free without residual deoxidants C10300 Oxygen-free extra low phosphorus C10400, C10500, C10700 OFS Oxygen-free, silver bearing C10800 Oxygen-free low phosphorus C 11000* ETP Electrolytic tough pitch C 11300, C 11400, C 11600* STP Silver bearing tough pitch C12000 DLP Phosphorized, low residual phosphorus C 12200* DHP Phosphorized, high residual phosphorus C12300 DPS Phosphorized, silver bearing C14200 DPA Phosphorus deoxidized, arsenical C14420 Tin bearing tellurium copper C14530 Tin tellurium bearing copper A Except Copper UNS No. C 10300 (oxygen-free extra low phosphorus) and No. C 10800 (oxygen-free low phosphorus) these types of copper are classified in Classification B 224. *SAE specification CA101 conforms to Copper UNS No. C 10100; SAE Specification CA102 conforms to the requirements for Copper UNS No. C 10200; SAE Specification CA110 conforms to the requirements for Copper UNS No. C 11000; SAE Specifications CA113, CA114, and CA116 conform to the requirements for Copper UNS Nos. C 11300, C 11400, and C 11600; SAE Specification CA120 conforms to Copper UNS No. C 12000; and SAE Specification CA122 conforms to the requirements for Copper UNS No. C 12200. NOTE 1—Copper UNS Nos. C 10400, C 10500, C 10700, C 11300, C 11400, and C 11600 identify coppers with specific silver content (see Table 1). NOTE 2—This specification is not intended to cover material rolled to ounce-weight thicknesses. Such material is covered by Specification B370. 1 Thic specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee B-5 on Copper and Copper Alloys and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee B05.01 on Plate, Sheet, and Strip. Current edition approved Feb. 10, 1997. Published April 1997. Originally published as B 152 42 T. Last previous edition B 152 94. 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 ofthe 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. Plates for locomotive fireboxes are covered by Specification B 11. Flat copper products with finished (rolled or drawn) edges (flat wire and strip) are also covered by Specification B 272. NOTE 3—A complete metric companion to Specification B 152 has been developed—B 152M; therefore, no metric equivalents are presented in this specification.
