The Special Properties and Environmental Impacts of the Brass Tube


Alloy C272, also called yellow brass, is a metal that exhibits properties that fit just about any industry. Chemically, the composition of yellow brass is approximately 63.5% copper plus 39.5% zinc. While it offers the same attractive sheen as gold, the material is more robust and not as expensive, thus making it versatile for a multitude of projects. Alloy C272 can be sold in the form of square brass tubing, as well as other cross-section shapes like hexagons, rectangles, and the traditional round tube.

Different Applications

Brass tubes are known to have a very high thermal conductivity, nearly 50% as efficient as pure copper. For this reason, tubes or pipes made from this alloy are often installed on heat exchangers for radiators as well as parts for refrigeration and other cooling machinery.
