1. Scope
1.1 This specification establishes the requirements for electrolytic copper cathode; electrorefined and electrowon.
1.2 UnitsThe values stated in inch-pound units are the standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
Note 1
Cathode produced to this specification corresponds to the designation "Cath" as defined in Classification B 224 and may be used to produce all other coppers listed in Classification B 224 that are normally produced from "Cath" copper.
Note 2Grade 1 cathode conforms to the chemical compositional requirements of Copper UNS No. C11040, except for oxygen, and is suitable for the manufacture of wire rod as designated in Specification B 49.
2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately) The documents listed below are referenced within the subject standard but are not provided as part of the standard.
