Brass Pipe

Brass pipes are made from an alloy of copper and zinc, with the proportions of each metal varying depending on the pipe’s intended use.

Material Properties

Melting point: Brass has a lower melting point than copper, usually around 920–970°C
Mechanical properties: The mechanical properties of brass can be varied by changing the proportions of copper and zinc
Electrical properties: The electrical properties of brass can be varied by changing the proportions of copper and zinc
Acoustic properties: The acoustic properties of brass can be varied by changing the proportions of copper and zinc
Chemical properties: The chemical properties of brass can be varied by changing the proportions of copper and zinc

Material Chemical Compostion

Copper: Typically makes up 60–90% of the alloy
Zinc: Typically makes up 10–40% of the alloy
Other metals: May also include aluminum, iron, lead, and tin
