Size Range
Diameter: Drawn rods range from 3mm to 500mm in diameter, depending on the production process (extrusion or drawing).
Length: Standard lengths up to 30 meters, custom cuts available.
Tolerances: For example, a 10mm diameter copper rod has a tolerance of ±0.0045 inches (approximately ±0.11mm), and length tolerances vary depending on the application.
International Standards
ASTM Standards:
ASTM B21: Specifies the chemical composition and mechanical properties of copper alloy rods.
ASTM B111/B111M: Corrosion resistance and dimensional requirements for C44300 tubes and rods, particularly for heat exchangers.
European Standard: EN 12163:2011 covers the manufacturing and testing requirements for copper alloy rods.
Chinese Standard:
GB/T 4423-2007: Specifies the dimensional tolerances and surface quality of drawn copper rods, with a minimum diameter of 3mm.
GB/T 5231-2012: defines the grades and compositions of processed copper alloys, corresponding to C44300.
Copper (Cu): 69.0% - 73.0% (most literature supports 69.0% - 71.0%, but some standards such as EN give 70.0% - 73.0%).
Tin (Sn): 0.8% - 1.3%, used to enhance corrosion resistance.
Zinc (Zn): Balance, usually 25% - 29%.
Arsenic (As): 0.02% - 0.06%, inhibits dezincification corrosion.
Impurities: Lead (Pb) ≤ 0.05%, Iron (Fe) ≤ 0.10%, Nickel (Ni) ≤ 0.5%, Total impurities ≤ 0.3%.
