Standard Specification for Copper, Copper-Alloy, Copper-Clad Bronze (CCB), Copper-Clad Stainless Steel (CCS), and Copper-Clad Alloy Steel (CAS) Sheet and Strip for Electrical Cable Shielding

Abstract

This specification establishes the requirements for sheets and strips of various thicknesses produced from copper (Copper UNS No. C1000), copper-iron alloy (Copper Alloy UNS No. C19400), copper-zinc alloy that is commercial bronze (Copper Alloy UNS No. C22000), copper-zinc alloy that is red brass (Copper Alloy UNS No. C23000), copper-zinc-iron-cobalt alloy (Copper Alloy UNS No. C66400), copper-zinc-iron alloy (Copper Alloy UNS No. C66410), copper-zinc-iron-tin alloy (Copper Alloy UNS No. C66430), cupro-20% nickel (Copper Alloy UNS No. C71000), copper-clad bronze, copper-clad stainless steel, and copper-clad alloy steel. These materials are intended for use as electrostatic or electromagnetic shielding for insulated power, control, instrumentation, and communication cables. Cladding metals may be bonded to the specified base metal by any method that will produce products that will conform to the properties and characteristics prescribed herein. Materials shall be furnished specific to individual metals in the following tempers: H00 (cold-rolled, 1/8 hard), H01 (cold-rolled,
