In most cooling systems of marine engines at the brass pipes are pumping sea water and fresh water. She also applied for pumping plants operation. The advantage of brass in front of the copper in ship systems and mechanisms due to the fact that copper is susceptible to two forms of corrosion that can be seen it on ships:

Erosion corrosion due to fast moving water in the pipe. Because copper is relatively soft, toone is subject to wear sea-water, especially when water turns 90 °, and in the branches, where turbulence and wind speed;

Copper wears out from exposure to hydrogen sulfide, which is an important component in sea water.
