Abstract

Specifies requirements for the manufacture and testing of high conductivity copper castings and copper alloy ingots and castings. Includes a coding system for when additional inspection is required, and also includes a guide to alloy selection.

Scope

This Standard specifies requirements for the manufacture and testing of high conductivity copper castings and copper alloy ingots and castings.

NOTES:
1 Advice and recommendations on information to be supplied by the purchaser at the time of enquiry or order are contained in Appendix A.
2 Provision has been made for additional inspection requirements for castings which can be specified by a coding system (see Appendix B).
