This specification establishes the requirements for
copper-nickel-zinc and copper-nickel rod and bar for general
application produced from Copper Alloy UNS Nos. C70600,
C70620, C71500, C71520, C74500, C75200, C75700,
C76400, C77000, and C79200.
Copper Alloys UNS Nos. C70620 and C71520 are for
product intended for welding applications.
The values stated in either inch-pound or SI 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 nonconformance with the
standard.
