ASTM B111 UNS C68700 Aluminum Brass Tube Seamless Heat Exchanger Tube

C68700 is indeed classified as a type of brass, specifically an aluminum brass alloy. This alloy typically contains copper, aluminum, and other elements, including arsenic, which contributes to its properties. There are various common copper alloys such as C12000, C44300, C68700, C70600, C71500, C71640. People choose material determine whether the alloy will be exposed to corrosive environments (like seawater, chemicals, or humidity). Some alloys are better suited for marine or chemical applications. Evaluate the operating temperature range, some alloys perform better at higher or lower temperatures.
