Detailed Engineering Specifications

Built to exacting engineering tolerances, this 0.308-inch thick brass stock sheet offers exceptional dimensional stability and surface finish critical for hydraulic components. Composed of a high-copper alloy (typically UNS C26000 cartridge brass), it exhibits excellent machinability, good tensile strength, and superior corrosion resistance, particularly against water and mild chemicals prevalent in hydraulic fluids. The 25-inch by 41-inch dimensions provide ample material for fabrication of manifold blocks, valve plates, custom fittings, and seals where precise tolerances and material integrity are paramount for leak-free operation and longevity.
