Software searches out copper/alloy standards

Copper Key' software enables users to find equivalent copper and copper alloy standards and compositions for EN and old BS materials from other national material designations.
Copper Development Association is launching 'Copper Key', new software, which enables users to find equivalent copper and copper alloy standards and compositions for EN and old BS materials from other national material designations including US (ASTM), German (DIN), Japanese (JIS) and Chinese (GB) material designations.

This software provides an essential introductory cross-reference tool for designers and specifiers but, for full details, the relevant standards, obtainable from BSI or other national standards bodies, should be consulted.

The software was developed by CDA's sister organisation in Germany, Deutsches Kupferinstitut (German Copper Institute), and is available at a cost of GBP 10 from Copper Development Association.
