About this standard
The standard specifies the composition, mechanical properties and other relevant characteristics of copper and copper alloys. It also sets out the sampling procedures and test methods for verification of conformity to the requirements of this standard.
It is applicable to:
a) copper alloy ingots intended to be remelted for later processing (e.g. castings); and
b) copper and copper alloy castings which are intended for use without subsequent working other than machining.
An annex describes the recommended practice for ordering and supply of castings, while a further annex sets out optional supplementary inspection procedures for ingots and castings where a more rigorous inspection is required by the purchaser. Information relating to the conformance of permitted copper and copper alloys used in castings to the New Approach Pressure Equipment Directive is also included.
The information in this standard is essential for foundries and purchasers of copper, whether in the form of ingots or castings.
