Detailed Engineering Specifications

Precision-manufactured to tight tolerances, this 0.486-inch thick brass stock sheet measures 16 inches by 38 inches. Composed primarily of copper and zinc, its alloy composition ensures superior corrosion resistance and excellent machinability. The inherent non-sparking nature of brass makes it a critical material for environments where static discharge could ignite flammable vapors or dust, such as chemical processing plants, oil and gas facilities, and laboratories. Its robust mechanical properties also contribute to its suitability for protective barriers and safety equipment.
