Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc (generally composed of 65% copper and 35% zinc), the proportions of which can be varied to achieve a range of brasses with varying properties.
A higher percentage of copper yields greater ductility whereas a higher percentage of Zinc would increase the working strength at colder temperatures.
Brass flanges have various features including their ability to be great thermal conductors and their resistance to corrosion, along with being high strength but light in weight.
Brass is used across the oil, gas and chemical industries whilst also being highly used in marine, water and wastewater treatment plants.
