Technical specifications

Copper alloys are widely used in the metallurgical industry because of their ability to economically deliver a wide range of properties. One of the most attractive characteristics of copper, including low-alloy, is good corrosion resistance, which can lead to an increase in the durability of products. Because of this, water pipe parts have traditionally been made of lead red and semi-red brass.

The problem with lead is associated with various dangerous health problems. Particularly dangerous lead in sanitary products, because its particles can get into the drinking water. Thus, the use of lead-free brass and low-alloyed copper contributes to the improvement of living standards.

Urgency of application

Restriction of the use of lead sanitary fittings provides for setting standards for leaching lead. All faucets, drinking fountains, water coolers and other devices for the transportation of drinking water must undergo an appropriate check. Existing standards require the certification of devices, rather than alloys, because products made from the same alloy can produce different amounts of lead, depending on the differences in the surface area exposed to water.

A safe boundary is the limit of 11 parts per billion for lead and 15 parts per billion for copper. This is the level at which public water enterprises should take action to control the chemistry of water to reduce corrosion.

Chemical composition

Table of the main brands of lead-free brass and low-alloyed copper is given below:
