| Copper | Previously | Type of Copper |
|
| ||
| C10100 | OFE | Oxygen-free, electronic |
| C10200 | OF | Oxygen-free without residual deoxidants |
| C10300 | — | Oxygen-free, extra low phosphorus |
| C10400, C10500, | OFS | Oxygen-free, silver bearing |
| C11000 | ETP | Electrolytic tough pitch |
| C11300, C11400, | STP | Silver-bearing tough pitch |
| C12000 | DLP | Phosphorized, low residual phosphorus |
1.2Unless otherwise specified, any one of the above coppers may be furnished.
1.3Units—The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units, which are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
1.4This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
