I am looking for a chart that shows correlation between vickers, or rockwell B numbers to tensile strength. I can find the charts for iron and stainless steels but all I can find for copper just show tensile strength. I want to take hardness readings and convert to ksi-psi. Thank you all.

You may be able to get the data you want using the CDA alloy properties tool, assuming you have a specific alloy and form/size you are interested in.

EN ISO 18265 for steel
Don't know if this exists for copper...

To be legal, ASTM E140 only applies to 70-30 cartridge brass (Table 4) or CDA 102 through 142 (Table 7). The main problem, though, is that these conversions are only between hardness scales - they do not include tensile or yield strength. I am not aware of a rule of thumb conversion either...
