Standard Specification for Copper-Alloy Plate and Sheet for Pressure Vessels, Condensers, and Heat Exchangers
Show Complete Document History
The following bibliographic material is provided to assist you with your purchasing decision:
This specification establishes the requirements for plates, sheets, and circles cut from plates and sheets made of UNS C36500, C44300, C44400, C44500, C46400, C46500, C61300, C61400, C63000, C63200, C70600, C70620, C71500, C71520, or C72200 copper alloy. These materials are recommended for use in pressure vessels, condensers, and heat exchangers. The materials are manufactured by either hot rolling or forging and finished by such cold working and annealing to produce products of the required dimensions and properties. Tempers available under this specification are as hot rolled and hot rolled and annealed. The products manufactured for ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel code applications must be certified to the hot rolled and annealed temper while all other products can either have hot rolled or hot rolled and annealed temper. This specification also contains information on the required material chemical compositions, densities, and tensile properties.
Scope
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:
