1. Alloy Composition and Characteristics
Alloy
|
Composition
|
Characteristics
|
C22000
|
Approximately 85% copper and 15% zinc
|
Also known as red brass, it offers excellent corrosion resistance, good formability, and a bright, attractive finish. It has a relatively high strength among brass alloys, making it suitable for applications where durability and resistance to environmental factors are crucial.
|
C23000
|
Around 80% copper and 20% zinc
|
This alloy, often referred to as commercial brass, has a good balance of strength and ductility. It is highly malleable, allowing for easy shaping and forming processes. It also exhibits good corrosion resistance, which makes it popular in a wide range of industries.
|
C26000
|
About 70% copper and 30% zinc
|
Commonly called cartridge brass, it is well - known for its excellent cold - working properties. It has high strength, good ductility, and outstanding corrosion resistance, especially in marine and humid environments. Its distinct yellow color also makes it aesthetically pleasing for decorative applications.

2. Specifications
2.1 Dimensions
- Outer Diameter: Our round tubes and pipes are available in a wide range of outer diameters. For C22000, C23000, and C26000, the outer diameter can range from as small as 2mm to as large as 914mm (1/16" - 36"). This wide range of sizes allows for applications in various fields, from small - scale precision instruments to large - scale industrial piping systems.
- Wall Thickness: The wall thickness of our products varies from 0.2mm to 120mm (SCH 5S - SCH 160S). Whether you need a thin - walled tube for lightweight applications or a thick - walled pipe to withstand high pressures, we have the right product for you.
- Length: We offer standard lengths of 1m, 2m, 3m, 4m, 5.8m, 6m. However, we also provide customized lengths according to your specific requirements. This flexibility ensures that you get the exact length you need for your project, minimizing waste and installation costs.
2.2 Hardness
The tubes and pipes are available in different hardness levels, including 1/16 hard, 1/8 hard, 3/8 hard, 1/4 hard, 1/2 hard, full hard, and soft. Different hardness levels are suitable for different manufacturing and application scenarios. For example, soft - annealed products are ideal for deep - drawing and bending operations, while harder materials are better for applications that require high strength and wear resistance.
3. Surface Finish
We offer a variety of surface finishes to meet different aesthetic and functional requirements:
- Mill Finish: This is the natural surface finish as it comes from the manufacturing process. It has a matte - like appearance and is suitable for applications where appearance is not the primary concern, such as industrial piping systems.
- Polished Finish: A smooth and shiny surface is achieved through polishing. This finish not only enhances the visual appeal but also makes the surface more resistant to dirt and corrosion. It is often used in decorative applications, such as in architectural projects and luxury goods.
- Bright Finish: Similar to the polished finish, but with an even more brilliant shine. It is highly reflective and gives the product an elegant look. This finish is popular in the production of musical instruments and high - end decorative items.
- Oiled Finish: An oil coating is applied to the surface to provide additional corrosion protection. This is especially useful for products that will be stored or transported for an extended period or used in corrosive environments.
- Hairline Finish: This finish creates a series of fine, parallel lines on the surface, giving it a unique and sophisticated texture. It is often used in applications where a non - reflective and scratch - resistant surface is desired, such as in some interior design projects.
- Brush Finish: Produces a brushed - metal look, which can add a touch of industrial or modern style. It is also relatively easy to maintain and is commonly used in architectural and furniture applications.
- Mirror Finish: The surface is polished to a mirror - like shine, providing a high - end and luxurious appearance. This finish is often used in high - end decorative applications, such as in the production of high - end fixtures and fittings.
- Sand - Blast Finish: Creates a rough, textured surface by blasting sand or other abrasive materials onto the surface. This finish can improve the adhesion of coatings and is also used for decorative purposes in some applications.
4. Applications
These brass copper round tubes and pipes have a wide range of applications across various industries:
- Plumbing and Heating Systems: Due to their excellent corrosion resistance and good formability, C22000, C23000, and C26000 tubes and pipes are widely used in residential and commercial plumbing and heating systems. They can be used for water supply lines, radiator pipes, and heating coils, ensuring long - term reliable performance.
- Aviation and Aerospace: In the aviation and aerospace industries, where lightweight yet strong materials are required, these brass alloys find applications in components such as fuel lines, hydraulic systems, and electrical conduits. Their corrosion resistance is also crucial in these harsh environments.
- Marine Industry: C26000, in particular, with its high resistance to seawater corrosion, is extensively used in the marine industry. It can be used for shipboard piping systems, heat exchangers, and fittings, providing reliable performance in salt - water environments.
- Electrical and Electronics: Brass is a good conductor of electricity, making these tubes and pipes suitable for use in electrical and electronics applications. They can be used as electrical conduits, connectors, and components in electrical equipment.
- Decorative and Architectural Applications: The attractive appearance and workability of these brass alloys make them popular in decorative and architectural applications. They can be used for making handrails, balustrades, decorative columns, and other architectural elements, adding a touch of elegance and durability to buildings.
- Mechanical Engineering: In mechanical engineering, these tubes and pipes can be used for manufacturing various components such as hydraulic cylinders, pneumatic tubes, and precision parts. Their high strength and good machinability make them suitable for these applications.
- Musical Instruments: C26000, with its excellent acoustic properties and workability, is commonly used in the production of musical instruments such as trumpets, trombones, and saxophones. The alloy's ability to produce a rich and resonant sound makes it a preferred choice for instrument manufacturers.
