(Main)Copper and copper alloys - Profiles and bars for general purposes
Copper and copper alloys - Profiles and bars for general purposes
This European Standard specifies the composition, property requirements and dimensional tolerances for copper alloy profiles including L-, T-, U-shaped cross-sections, and bars, finally produced by drawing or extruding.
This European Standard applies to profiles with L-, T- and U-shaped cross-sections which would fit within a circumscribing circle of a maximum 180 mm diameter and to bars with thicknesses from 3 mm up to and including 60 mm and with widths from 6 mm up to and including 120 mm.
The sampling procedures, the methods of test for verification of conformity to the requirements of this European Standard, are also specified.
