Scope

1.1 This specification covers hard-drawn round copper alloy wires for electric conductors.

1.2 The copper alloy wires shall be made in any one of ten distinct alloys designated 8.5 to 85 in accordance with their increasing conductivities or designated by assigned UNS numbers (see Explanatory ) as follows:

	Copper Alloy UNSNo.		Copper Alloy UNSNo.
Alloy 8.5	C65100	Alloy 40
Alloy 13	C51000	Alloy 55	C16500
Alloy 15		Alloy 74	C19600
Alloy 20		Alloy 80	C16200
Alloy 30	C50700	Alloy 85	C16200

1.3 The SI values of density and resistivity are to be regarded as standard. For all other properties the inch-pound values are to regarded as standard, and the SI values may be approximate.
