What is the difference between Admiralty and Brass (HX Tube materials) ? Chemistry? Mechanical properties? When do you chose one over the other? What is the significance of Admiralty as name of a material?





RE: HX Tube material
"alpha-beta brass containing tin; resistant to sea water"
Used in ships a lot hence the nick name.
For typical tube properties look at ASTM B135
