Chemical Compositio
17、n6.1 The material shall conform to the chemical composi-tional requirements in Table 1 for the copper alloy UNS No.specified in the ordering information.6.1.1 These composition limits do not preclude the presenceof other elements. By agreement between the manufacturer andpurchaser, limits will be es
18、tablished and analysis required forunnamed elements.6.2 For alloys in which zinc is specified as the remainder,either copper or zinc is permitted to be taken as the differencebetween the sum of results for all elements analyzed and100 %. When copper is so determined, that difference valueshall confo

32、LENTSX1.1 The SI unit for strength properties now shown is inaccordance with the International System of Units (SI). Thederived SI unit for force is the newton (N), which is defined asthat force which when applied to a body having a mass of onekilogram gives it an acceleration of one metre per secon
33、dsquare (N = kgm s2). The derived SI unit for pressure or stressis the newton per square metre (N/m2), which has been namedthe pascal (Pa) by the General Conference on Weights andMeasures. Since 1 ksi = 6 894 757 Pa, the metric equivalentsare expressed as megapascal (MPa), which is the same asMN/m2a
