Detailed Engineering Specifications

Precision-manufactured to tight tolerances, this brass stock sheet measures 0.203 inches in thickness, 19 inches in width, and 30 inches in length. Composed of a high-grade brass alloy (typically UNS C26000 or similar), it exhibits excellent thermal conductivity, machinability, and resistance to a wide range of common industrial fluids and gases. This makes it an optimal choice for fabricating components within pressure and temperature regulation systems, including valve bodies, fittings, heat exchanger plates, and control panel elements where consistent performance and longevity are paramount.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel fasteners which can lead to galvanic corrosion when in contact with brass.Always use brass, stainless steel, or other compatible corrosion-resistant fasteners when assembling components made from this brass stock.
Overheating during brazing or welding, which can compromise the brass alloy's mechanical properties and introduce stress.Employ controlled heating techniques and appropriate fluxes to maintain the integrity of the brass alloy during thermal joining processes.

Common Applications

  • Pressure vessel components
  • Temperature control valve bodies
  • Heat exchanger fabrication
  • Manifold systems
  • Instrumentation fittings

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not suitable for use with strong oxidizing acids or ammonia-based solutions which can cause dezincification.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when working with brass, especially during cutting or heating operations, to avoid inhalation of fumes.
