Size range and international standards of C12000 copper plate:


Size range

Thickness: 0.3 mm to 150 mm (customization is supported).

Width: 200 mm to 3100 mm.

Length: up to 8100 mm (some data show 8000 mm or 12000 mm, which may vary slightly due to production process or customer needs).

International standards

C12000 copper plate complies with the following international standards:


ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials):

ASTM B4152 standard clearly covers the production requirements of C12000 copper plate.

ASTM B280 standard lists C12000 as a copper tube material for air conditioning and refrigeration equipment (note that this standard is mainly for tubes).

DIN (German Industrial Standard): Applicable to copper plate manufacturing and acceptance.

EN (European Standard): EN 12735 (involving copper tube applications).

JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard): JIS H3100, H3300, etc.

GB/T (Chinese National Standard): GB/T 29094-2012 on the status of copper plates


Main ingredients:


Copper (Cu): content ≥99.90% (with other elements the sum does not exceed 0.1%).


Phosphorus (P): content ranges from 0.004% to 0.012% (some standards such as ASTM B152/B152M-2019 stipulate 0.004% to 0.035%). The role of phosphorus is deoxidation, improving weldability and corrosion resistance.

Impurity elements (extremely low content, usually not exceeding the following limits):


Lead (Pb), iron (Fe), nickel (Ni), antimony (Sb), arsenic (As), bismuth (Bi), sulfur (S), etc.: total impurity content ≤0.1%, and the content of each element alone is usually ≤0.02%.

Oxygen (O): controlled by phosphorus deoxidation process, the residual content is extremely low.

Mechanical properties:

Tensile strength (σb): ≥295 MPa (room temperature tensile properties of the strip)

Elongation (δ10): ≥3% (reflects the plasticity of the material)

Hardness:

Annealed state: about 55~80 HV (Vickers hardness)

Cold working state: up to 80~100 HV

Other properties:

Good cold bending and welding properties, suitable for pipeline forming

No tendency to "hydrogen disease", can be used in reducing atmosphere

Physical properties:

Electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity: high, but the addition of phosphorus makes it slightly lower than pure copper

Corrosion resistance: good performance in fresh water, sea water and general atmospheric environment, but susceptible to nitric acid and sulfur-containing media
