1. Scope

1.1 This specification establishes the requirements for copper-alloy plate, sheet, and circles cut from plate and sheet for pressure vessels, condensers, and heat exchangers. The following alloys are covered:

Copper AlloyPreviously Used Designation
C36500Leaded Muntz Metal
C44300Admirality, Arsenical
C44400Admirality, Antimonial
C44500Admirality, Phosphorized
C46400Naval Brass, Uninhibited
C46500Naval Brass, Arsenical
C61300Aluminum Bronze
C61400Aluminum Bronze D
C6300010 % Aluminum-Nickel Bronze
C632009 % Aluminum-Nickel Bronze
C7060090-10 Copper Nickel
C7062090-10 Copper Nickel -(modified for welding)
C7150070-30 Copper Nickel
C7152070-30 Copper Nickel-(modified for welding)
C72200. . .

1.2 Units—The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.
