The copper alloys test methods listed below are the reference standards used for the testing of mechanical, physical, metallurgical and corrosion properties of copper and copper based alloys.
These test methods have been designed to provide a consistent and level platform for the actual tests and results, ensuring that the test data can be compared across all copper alloy grades and systems that are subjected to the same test methods.
This enables purchasers and specifiers to make informed comparisons and choices, while ensuring test houses know the parameters for every detail of each method.
