Description
🔩 C11000 ETP Copper Rod – ASTM B187 T2 Pure Copper Bar for Electrical & Thermal Applications
🧩 Overview
C11000 ETP Copper Rod is one of the most widely used high-conductivity copper products in the world. With a minimum copper content of 99.90% and excellent electrical and thermal properties, it is the preferred material for busbars, electrical terminals, heat exchangers, and many other high-performance applications.
Our C11000 ETP Copper Rods are manufactured in strict accordance with ASTM B187, JIS H3250, and GB/T 5231 T2 standards. We offer full customization on diameter, length, temper, and finish to meet the specific demands of industrial, electrical, and thermal engineering clients.
🔬 What is C11000 ETP Copper?
C11000 ETP (Electrolytic Tough Pitch) Copper is a high-conductivity copper alloy containing ≥99.90% copper and ≤0.04% oxygen. The oxygen improves the thermal stability of the copper matrix but slightly reduces hydrogen embrittlement resistance compared to OFHC (Oxygen-Free High Conductivity) copper.
This balance of purity, performance, and cost makes C11000 ETP Copper Rod the most economical and practical solution for electrical and thermal conductivity requirements.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the difference between C11000 and C10200?
A: C11000 contains oxygen and has slightly lower hydrogen embrittlement resistance but is more cost-effective than C10200 (OFHC copper).
Q2: Is C11000 copper suitable for welding?
A: Yes, it can be welded using gas or resistance welding techniques. For high-vacuum environments, consider OFHC alternatives.
Q3: Can I get custom-cut rods?
A: Absolutely. We support cut-to-length services with tolerances as tight as ±0.05 mm.
