Designation: B150/B150M − 12 (Reapproved 2017)Standard Specif i cation forAluminum Bronze Rod, Bar, and Shapes 1This standard is issued under the f i xed designation B150/B150M; the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon (´) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 This specif i cation establishes the requirements for alu-minum bronze rod, bar, and shapes for Copper Alloys UNSNos. C61300, C61400, C61900, C62300, C62400, C63000,C63020, C63200, C64200, and C64210.N OTE 1—Product intended for hot forging is described in Specif i cationB124/B124M.N OTE 2—Warning—Mercury has been designated by many regulatoryagencies as a hazardous material that can cause serious medical issues.Mercury, or its vapor, has been demonstrated to be hazardous to health andcorrosive to materials. Caution should be taken when handling mercuryand mercury containing products. See the applicable product Safety DataSheet (SDS) for additional information. Users should be aware that sellingmercury and/or mercury containing products into your state or countrymay be prohibited by law.1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, eachsystem shall be used independently of the other. Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory requirements prior to use.1.4 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards, Guides and Recom-mendations issued by the World Trade Organization TechnicalBarriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.2.
