Detailed Engineering Specifications

Precision-manufactured to tight tolerances, this 0.487-inch thick brass stock sheet measures 25 inches by 41 inches. Composed of a high-copper alloy, it exhibits excellent machinability, ductility, and resistance to common pneumatic media, including air and inert gases. The material's inherent non-sparking properties are beneficial in potentially hazardous environments. Ideal for fabricating custom pneumatic valve bodies, manifolds, and pressure vessels where dimensional accuracy and material integrity are paramount for leak-free operation and component longevity.
