ASTM B967/B967M-10

This document is not anASTM standard and is intended only to provide the user of anASTM standard an indication of what changes have been made to the previous version. Because
it may not be technically possible to adequately depict all changes accurately, ASTM recommends that users consult prior editions as appropriate. In all cases only the current version
of the standard as published by ASTM is to be considered the official document.
Designation:B967/B967M–09 Designation: B967/B967M – 10
Standard Specification for
1
Copper-Zinc-Tin-Bismuth Alloy Rod, Bar and Wire
This standard is issued under the fixed designation B967/B967M; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year
of original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.
A superscript epsilon (´) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.
1. Scope
1.1This specification establishes the requirements for copper-zinc-tin-bismuth alloy rod, bar and wire of alloy UNS No. C49300
intended for use in plumbing applications and drinking water systems.
1.2Typically, rod and bar product made to this specification is furnished as straight lengths. Wire (H04) 0.08-0.3 in. [2-8 mm
inclusive] is furnished in coil form. *
1.1 This specification establishes the requirements for copper-zinc-tin-bismuth alloy rod, bar and wire of alloy UNS Nos.
C49260, C49300, C49340, and C49350 intended for use in plumbing applications and drinking water systems.
1.2 Typically, rod and bar product made to this specification is furnished as straight lengths. Wire (H04) 0.08-0.3 in. [2-8 mm
inclusive] is furnished in coil form, and H50 shapes.
1.3 The following safety hazard caveat pertains only to the test method(s) described in this specification.
1.3.1 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility
of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use.
1.4 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.
1.5AJapanese patent application has been submitted for UNSAlloy C49300.Apatent application is being prepared for review
by the U.S. Patent Office.An international patent application has been submitted to PCT (Patent Cooperation Treaty).Alternative
