1.1 This specification establishes the requirements for copper-alloy plate, sheet, and circles cut from plate and sheet for pressure vessels, condensers, and heat exchangers. The following alloys are covered: | Copper Alloy | Previously Used Designation | | | C36500 | Leaded Muntz Metal | C44300 | Admirality, Arsenical | C44400 | Admirality, Antimonial | C44500 | Admirality, Phosphorized | C46400 | Naval Brass, Uninhibited | C46500 | Naval Brass, Arsenical | C61300 | Aluminum Bronze | C61400 | Aluminum Bronze D | C63000 | 10 % Aluminum-Nickel Bronze | C63200 | 9 % Aluminum-Nickel Bronze | C70600 | 90-10 Copper Nickel | C70620 | 90-10 Copper Nickel -(modified for welding) | C71500 | 70-30 Copper Nickel | C71520 | 70-30 Copper Nickel-(modified for welding) | C72200 | . . . | 1.2 Units—The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound 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 non-conformance with the standard. |
