A Elements shown as balance shall be arithmetically computed by deducting the sum of the other named elements from 100.
B Copper plus specified elements = 99.8 min; copper plus silver = 88.5-91.5.
C Cobalt is to be counted as nickel
D Minimum content of copper plus all other elements with specified limits shall be 99.5%.
E An alloy containing as high as 2.5% silicon is acceptable provided the sum of all the lements other than copper, silicon and iron does not exceed 0.30 %.

A Tensile stress areas are computed using the following formula: As = 0.7854 [D- (0.9743/n)]2
Where:,br>
As = Tensile stress area, in.2,
D = Nominal size (basic major diameter), in., and,
n = number of threads per inch.
