ASTM B248-22 - 1.5.2022
 
1. Scope

1.1?This specification establishes the general requirements common to several wrought product specifications. Unless otherwise specified in the purchase order or in an individual specification, these general requirements shall apply to copper and copper-alloy plate, sheet, strip, and rolled bar supplied under each of the following product specifications issued by ASTM: B19, B36/B36M, B96/B96M, B101, B103/B103M, B121/B121M, B122/B122M, B130, B152/B152M, B169/B169M, B194, B370, B422/B422M, B465, B534, B591, B592, B694, B740, B747, B768, B888/B888M, and B936.2

1.2?UnitsThis specification is the companion specification to SI Specification B248M; therefore, no SI equivalents are shown in this specification.

1.3?This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
