TABLE 62. — Rolled Copper — Specification Values 



Specification values: U. S. Navy Dept, 47C2, minimums for rolled copper, — Cu min. 99.5 



TABLE 63. — Copper Wire — Specification Values 



Specific Gravity 8.89 at 20° C (68° F). 

 Copper wire: Hard Drawn (and Hard-rolled flat copper of thicknesses corresponding to diameters of wire) 

 Specification values. (A. S. T. M. Bi-15, and U. S. Navy Dept., 22W3, Mar. 1, 1915.) 



P-limit of hard-drawn copper wire must average 55 per cent of ultimate tensile strength for four largest sized wires 

 in table, and 60 per cent of tensile strength for smaller sizes.
