C44300 – Admiralty brass – CuZn28Sn1

Inhibited Admiralty brass tubes (C44300) are tubes made of a copper-zinc alloy with a small addition of tin and a corrosion inhibitor, engineered for outstanding resistance to polluted or saline water. With over 70% copper content, they offer a strong combination of durability, thermal conductivity, and anti-corrosive performance in heat transfer systems, as detailed in our in-depth guide to admiralty brass applications.

Inhibited admiralty brass tubes are commonly used in steam condensers, especially those cooled with fresh, salt, or brackish water, and are trusted in industries such as power generation, oil refining, and marine engineering. The alloy withstands aggressive media, including sulfur-bearing compounds, and performs reliably under high-pressure and temperature conditions.

C44300 Admiralty brass tubes are commonly used in:

• Steam condensers exposed to fresh, brackish, or seawater
  

• Feedwater heaters in power generation plants
  

• Heat exchangers in oil refineries and chemical plants
  

• Cooling systems in marine and offshore environments
  

• Desalination units and water treatment facilities

• Thermal equipment operating under corrosive and polluted conditions

• High corrosion resistance in contaminated water: inhibited alloy resists dezincification, pitting, and erosion in polluted and saline environments.

• Reliable performance in aggressive media: withstands sulfur compounds and organic contaminants found in oil refining and chemical processing.

• Thermal conductivity for efficient heat exchange: maintains stable performance across temperature cycles and varying water quality.

• Good mechanical strength and ductility: suitable for high-pressure systems and thermal cycling.

• Long service life in industrial environments: reduces maintenance needs in harsh conditions.

• Compliance with global standards: manufactured to meet ASTM B111 and other relevant specifications.
