ASTM B236-07 - 1.6.2007
 
1. Scope

1.1 This specification covers Aluminum 1350 bar for electric conductors in the tempers shown in .

1.2 Aluminum and temper designations are in accordance with ANSI H35.1/H35.1(M). The equivalent Unified Numbering System designation is A91350 in accordance with Practice E 527. Note 1 - For Alloy 6101 bus conductors, refer to Specification B 317/B 317M.

Note 2

Prior to 1975, Aluminum 1350 was designated as EC aluminum.

1.3 A complete metric companion to Specification B 236 has been developed-B 236M; therefore, no metric equivalents appear in this specification.

1.4 For acceptance criteria for inclusion of new aluminum and aluminum alloys in this specification, see Annex A2.
