Detailed Engineering Specifications

Manufactured under strict quality controls, this brass stock sheet features a substantial 0.507" (12.88mm) thickness, a generous 47" (1194mm) length, and a 25" (635mm) width. Composed of a brass alloy (typically UNS C26000 or equivalent), it exhibits excellent machinability, good ductility, and superior corrosion resistance. Its inherent non-sparking nature is paramount for use in potentially explosive atmospheres or areas where static discharge could pose a hazard. Thermal conductivity is moderate, and electrical conductivity is good, though secondary to its primary safety function.
