The combination of copper 69% zing 30% and tin 1% will result in admiralty brass.Admiralty Brass is a Copper Zinc Alloy, it contains small amount of arsenic and tin as well. These admiralty brass tubes are popular for their characteristic of superior corrosion resistance in a fairly polluted river water and clean seawater, either stagnant or slow moving water. The most common and produced form is tube for heat exchange equipment.
These tubes are broadly used in various applications including vent condensers, water heaters, generator, evaporators, condensate coolers, heaters, air coolers, turbine oil coolers for petrochemical, desalinations plants, ship-building, power plants etc. Moreover, Admiralty brass, which constitutes of 30% zinc, 1% tin and inhibits dezincification in most environments, is extensively used material in manufacturing tubes for the carrying out of liquids in the coolers and evaporators. Few of the characteristics that are required by this industry include; light weight, strength, corrosion-resistance tube, high thermal conductivity, durability and long lastingness.
While selecting admiralty brass tubes for various necessities in these industries, a buyer should look for properties that match their application with precision. Few of the important characteristics that admiralty brass tubes are as follows: Compactness, Ease of blending & joining, Resistance to corrosion, Resistant against tarnishing, , Light weight, Flexibility.
