Specification for
Copper Alloy Sand Castings for General Applications
1. Scope
1.1 This specification covers requirements for copper alloy
sand castings for general applications. Nominal compositions
of the alloys defined by this specification are shown in Table
1. This is a composite specification replacing former documents
as shown in Table 1.
NOTE 1Other copper alloy castings are included in the following
ASTM Specifications: B22/B22M, B61, B62, B66, B67, B148, B176,
B271/B271M, B369, B427, B505/B505M, B763/B763M, B770, and
B806.
1.2 Component part castings produced to this specification
may be manufactured in advance and supplied from stock. In
such cases the manufacturer shall maintain a general quality
certification of all castings without specific record or date of
casting for a specific casting.
1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded
as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical
conversions to SI units that are provided for information only
and are not considered standard.
