1. Scope
1.1 This specification establishes requirements for copper-nickel-tin alloy strip in the following alloys:
Copper Alloy UNS No. | Nominal Composition Weight % | ||
Copper | Nickel | Tin | |
C72700 | 85 | 9 | 6 |
C72900 | 77 | 15 | 8 |
C72650 | 87.5 | 7.5 | 5 |
1.2 Units—The values stated in inch-pound units and the values stated in SI units in Table 5 are to be regarded as standard, except for grain size which is stated in metric units only. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units and are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
1.3 The following safety hazard caveat pertains only to the test method(s) described in this specification.
1.3.1 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
