Fluid power systems rely on brass components for reliable, leak-free operation. Brass provides the strength, machinability, and corrosion resistance required for these demanding applications.
System Components
Fittings
- Tube fittings (compression, flare, push-to-connect)
- Pipe fittings (NPT, BSP, metric)
- Adapter fittings
- Quick-connect couplings
Valves
- Solenoid valves
- Ball valves
- Check valves
- Relief valves
- Flow control valves
Material Selection
Standard Applications
C36000 free-cutting brass for general pneumatic applications.
High Pressure
C27400 or forged brass for hydraulic systems up to 10,000 PSI.
Corrosive Environments
DZR brass or special alloys for aggressive media.
Performance Requirements
- Pressure Rating: Must exceed system maximum
- Temperature Range: Match system operating conditions
- Leak-Free: Critical for efficiency and safety
- Cycle Life: Millions of cycles for valves
