ASME SB111 C68700 Seamless Brass Tubes for Desalination of Seawater
C68700 is an aluminum brass alloy with arsenic addition, specifically designed for harsh environments such as seawater desalination. Its composition (Cu: 76-79%, Al: 1.8-2.5%, As: 0.02-0.06%, Zn: balance) ensures exceptional corrosion resistance in seawater and high thermal conductivity. The arsenic content further enhances resistance to dezincification, a critical feature for long-term durability in marine applications.
