Admiralty Brass tubes – C44300
Admiralty Brass tubes – C44300 - have good corrosion resistance and are specially used for tubing steam condensers cooled with fresh, salt, or brackish water. Admiralty metal tubes are also used for heat exchangers in oil refineries, in which corrosion from sulfur compounds and contaminated water may be very severe, and for feed-water heaters and heat-exchanger equipment as well as other industrial processes.
