Detailed Engineering Specifications

A proven choice for industrial professionals, this 0.880" thick brass stock sheet, measuring 23" in length and 14" in width, is manufactured to exacting standards for critical pressure and temperature control applications. Brass, an alloy of copper and zinc, provides an excellent balance of strength, ductility, and corrosion resistance, particularly against water and steam. This material's inherent thermal conductivity makes it suitable for heat exchange components, while its machinability allows for precise fabrication of custom parts. Its non-sparking properties are also advantageous in certain hazardous environments.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard steel cutting tools on brass without proper lubrication.Always use specialized cutting tools for non-ferrous metals and employ a cutting fluid or oil to prevent gumming and ensure a smooth finish.
Overheating the brass during welding or brazing, leading to material degradation.Control heat input carefully, use appropriate filler materials and fluxes for brass, and allow for adequate cooling time between steps.

Common Applications

  • Pressure vessel components
  • Heat exchanger plates
  • Valve bodies and fittings
  • Temperature regulation systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid sharp edges after cutting.
  • Consult material safety data sheets (MSDS) for specific handling and disposal guidelines of brass alloys.
