ASTM Committee B05 on Copper and Copper Alloys was formed in 1928. B05 meets twice a year, usually in April and October, with approximately 50 members attending three days of technical meetings. The Committee, with current membership of approximately 125, currently has jurisdiction of over 160 standards, published in the Annual Book of ASTM Standards, Volume 02.01. These standards have and continue to play a preeminent role in all aspects important to copper and copper alloys.
