Copper Sheet & Plate Guide: C11000, C12200 & Applications

Short answer: Copper sheet and plate come mainly as C11000 (ETP, 99.9% copper) for conductivity and architecture, C12200 (DHP, phosphorus-deoxidised) for tube and plumbing, and high-purity C10100 for critical electrical work — chosen by conductivity, formability and service environment.

Grades & Purity

C11000 (electrolytic tough pitch) is the general 99.9% copper for busbar, roofing and art; C12200 (DHP) is deoxidised for welding and tube; C10100 (oxygen-free) serves the purest electrical duty. The family sits in our Copper Supplier programme and is cross-referenced in Copper C11000 Vs C12200; conductivity choice is in Copper Vs Aluminum Wire.

Forming & Joining

Copper forms and bends well but work-hardens, so annealed tempers help deep draws. It is brazed or soldered (see Metal Brazing Vs Soldering) and fed by our Copper Tube Supplier programme; surface finishing is in Metal Surface Treatment Guide.

Applications & Quality

Use copper sheet for busbars, roofing, cookware, RF shielding and decorative cladding; brass/bronze sheet for springs and trim (see Copper Brass Bronze Guide). Corrosion and tarnish planning is in Galvanic Corrosion Guide; every lot ships with a mill certificate per Mill Test Certificate Guide.

Questions fréquemment posées

What grade of copper sheet should I use?

Use C11000 (ETP) for general conductivity and architecture, C12200 (DHP) for tube and plumbing, and C10100 (OFE) for the highest-purity electrical work.

Is copper sheet good for roofing?

Yes. Copper sheet is a premium, long-life roofing and cladding material with excellent weathering and a distinctive patina.

Can copper sheet be brazed or soldered?

Yes. Copper sheet is readily brazed and soldered, and is the classic material for busbars, liners and decorative metalwork.
