Thickness Range: Plate thickness is typically 1.0-200 mm, customizable. Hot rolled plate thickness tolerances are subject to Table 2 of the ASME standard (specific values not disclosed).
Width and Length: Width ranges from 200-2000 mm, with standard lengths of 1000-2000 mm. Plate lengths mentioned in the evidence can be up to 3500 mm, with flatness tolerances increasing with length (e.g. 60-132 inches for 1.5 mm arc depth).
Tolerance Requirements: Thickness tolerances vary by standard, e.g. ASTM B21 has a tolerance of ±0.0045 inches (0.75-1 inch) to ±0.005 inches (2 inches) for bars, and flatness tolerances for plates are set by length.
International Standards
C46400 copper plate must comply with the following major international standards:
ASTM Standards:
ASTM B21/B21M: Standardizes the dimensions and properties of naval brass bars, covering grinding length, tolerances, and weight.
ASTM B124/B124M: Specifies the chemical composition, mechanical properties and dimensional requirements of copper alloy plates.
ASTM B171/B171M: Copper alloy plates suitable for pressure vessels and heat exchangers, including flatness, surface quality, etc.
ASME standards:
ASME SB-171/SB-171M-2017: For marine brass plates, the performance requirements of hot rolled (M20) and annealed (O25) states are specified.
ASME B31.3: Involves the specifications of C46400 bolts in piping systems, such as size range, tensile strength (≥50 ksi) and temperature range.
hemical composition
Copper (Cu): 59.0%–62.0% (core component)
