Full title and description
ISO 1637:1987 — Wrought copper and copper alloy rod and bar — Technical conditions of delivery. This International Standard specifies the contractual and technical delivery conditions for commercially available wrought copper and copper-alloy rod and bar products (dimensions, tolerances, mechanical properties, surface condition, marking and documentation as applicable).
Abstract
ISO 1637:1987 defines the technical conditions of delivery for wrought copper and copper-alloy rod and bar. It addresses the form in which material is supplied, the required mechanical and dimensional characteristics, inspection and testing obligations, and markings and documentation needed for commercial supply. The standard cross-references related ISO documents for alloy definitions and designation principles.

Scope
This standard specifies the technical delivery conditions for wrought copper and copper-alloy rod and bar that are available in commercial quantities. It applies to dimensional, mechanical and surface requirements, and to inspection, testing, marking and documentation required for delivery. For definitions and principles used in designation and alloy identification, ISO 1637 refers users to related ISO documents (for example ISO 197‑1/197‑3 for alloy definitions and ISO 1190 parts for designation rules); technical conditions for wire are covered separately (see ISO 1638).
Key topics and requirements
- Definitions and scope of wrought rod and bar covered by the standard.
- Permitted forms, lengths and end preparation for supplied rods and bars.
- Dimensional tolerances and geometric requirements for cross-section and straightness.
- Specified mechanical properties (tensile strength, yield, elongation) for designated alloys and tempers.
- Surface condition, permissible defects and acceptance criteria.
- Requirements for sampling, testing and inspection (mechanical and, where applicable, chemical testing).
- Marking, certification and documentation to accompany deliveries (identification of alloy, temper, batch/heat and supplier).
- Packaging and handling instructions to preserve product condition during transit.
These topics reflect the standard’s role as a delivery‑conditions specification for producers, suppliers and purchasers.
Typical use and users
Manufacturers and mill operators of copper and copper-alloy rod and bar, raw-material purchasers and procurement teams, metallurgical and mechanical engineers, quality and inspection personnel, and standards committees use ISO 1637 as a baseline specification for contract terms and technical acceptance criteria for rod and bar products.
Related standards
ISO 1637 is part of the set of ISO standards covering wrought copper products. Closely related documents include ISO 1638 (technical conditions for wire), ISO 197‑1 and ISO 197‑3 (definitions for copper and copper alloys and for rod/bar terminology), and ISO 1190 parts (designation principles). The ISO 163x series (e.g., ISO 1634, ISO 1635, ISO 1638) covers other wrought copper product forms and delivery conditions.
