1. Scope
1.1 This specification covers seamless copper and copper-alloy rectangular tube intended for use as transmission lines in electronic equipment. Four types of material are specified having the following nominal compositions:
| Copper or Copper Alloy UNS No. | Previously Used Designation | Nominal Composition, % |
| Copper | Zinc | Phos- phorus |
| | | | |
| C10200 | Copper, Type OF | 100 | ... | ... |
| C10300 | ... | 99.99 | ... | 0.003 |
| C12000 | Copper, Type DLP | 100 | ... | ... |
| C22000 | Commercial bronze, 90 % | 90 | 10 | ... |
|
Types OF and DLP are described in Classification B 224.
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
