Brass Pipes & Tubes supplied by Metinox Overseas are used in many applications, ranging from water plumbing and electricity to cooling equipment, HVAC, marine, automotive, and many other uses as architectural elements and industrial equipment. Their low friction makes them ideal for use as bearings, gears, valves, and even ammunition shells, while their explosion-resistant property makes them ideal for use in explosive and flammable atmospheres. Brass tubes are also popular in musical equipment, such as horn sets and bells, because they are easy to handle and produce pleasant sounds. Brass, with its relatively low melting point and malleability, is an easy material to work with, providing a relatively inexpensive solution to many complex designs and projects. At Metinox Overseas, we supply brass pipes and tubes to international standards and offer them to our international customers at very reasonable prices.

Round, Square & Rectangular Brass Tubes
Brass tubes are available in various forms including round, square, and rectangular profiles to suit different industrial, architectural, and mechanical applications. Round brass tubes are commonly used in plumbing, HVAC systems, and heat exchangers. Square and rectangular brass tubes are preferred for structural applications, architectural fittings, handrails, and decorative purposes where aesthetic appearance and strength are important.
Manufacturing Process of Brass Pipes & Tubes
In order to make them highly corrosive, mechanically sound, and versatile in a broad spectrum of industrial, commercial, and residential use, brass pipes and tubes are made in order to achieve the highest level of accuracy in metallurgical and forming procedures.
- Raw Materials
Brass alloys of high quality are chosen, usually made of copper and zinc with restricted additions of other elements to improve machinability, corrosion properties, and strength, such as lead, tin, or aluminum. Purity and composition are well checked to match certain performance standards. - Melting & Alloying
Brass is melted in regulated electric or induction furnaces under protective atmospheres so as to avoid oxidation. Accurate alloying provides uniformity in chemical composition and maximum mechanical and physical characteristics. - Billet Casting & Preparation
The molten brass then casts to billets or ingots which are then homogenized and hot worked (forged or rolled) to refine the structure of the grain, enhance toughness, and produce homogenous feedstock to be used in making tubes. - Tube Forming
Seamless brass tubes are produced through extrusion, rotary pierced and then cold drawn to produce a correct dimension and uniform wall thickness. Another type of welded tube is created by bending sheets or strips of brass into pipe shapes and welding the edges using superior quality techniques of welding such as TIG welding. - Cold Working & Sizing
Sizing, annealing of metals and cold drawing improve surface finish, dimensional accuracy, mechanical strength and do not affect ductility such that brass tubes are able to meet strict industrial requirements. - Stress Relieving & Heat Treatment
Treatment cycles such as stress relieving and annealing maximize the mechanical properties and enhance corrosion resistance to achieve long-time performance in a wide variety of environments. - Testing & Quality Assurance
The piping made of brass is highly tested, in terms of dimensions, pressure, eddy current, and chemical to meet the international standards of ASTM, EN and JIS, and to be reliable and safe to their intended use.
Industrial Applications of Brass Pipes & Tubes
Brass pipes and tubes are some of the most common pipes and tubes that are utilized in industries where their ability to resist corrosion, machinability and thermal conduction is required. They are versatile and can be used in fluid handling, in mechanical systems, and in decoration.
- Water Distribution/ plumbing
Brass pipes are chosen to be used in potable water systems and plumbing systems because of their resistance against corrosion and biofouling, and also their capability to endure high pressure and temperature. - HVAC Systems
The excellent thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance and ease of fabrication of brass tubes make it an excellent material in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems as well as heat exchangers, condensers, and refrigerant lines. - Instrumentation and Control Systems
The high-dimensional control and machinability of the brass pipes make them perfect for instrumentation tubing, hydraulic lines, and pneumatic control systems in which reliability and impermeable operation are required. - Electrical and Electronics Industry
Brass is used in electrical systems as protective conductors and assemblies that utilize electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance characteristics. - Marine and Offshore Uses
The marine piping is chosen because of the resistance to seawater corrosion and biofouling of the brass alloys, especially in desalination plants, shipbuilding, and offshore platforms. - Automotive and Mechanical Engineering
In fuel lines, brake systems and cooling circuits, brass pipes are used where durability and corrosion resistance are important to the overall performance and safety of the vehicle. - Decoration and Architectural Uses
Brass tubes are also admired due to the aesthetic value and utilized in architectural fittings, handrails and ornamental fittings incorporating functional designs with beautiful finishes.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Brass pipes and tubes are hollow cylinders made from brass (a copper and zinc alloy) used to carry liquids, gases, or for mechanical and decorative purposes. Pipes are usually sized for flow, while tubes are sized by outer diameter and thickness.
They are strong, corrosion-resistant, durable, easy to shape, and work well with water, air, and other fluids. Brass also has good thermal and electrical conductivity.
Brass tubes are used for heat exchangers, condensers, refrigerant lines, and plumbing within heating and cooling systems due to their durability and excellent heat transfer.
Brass is easier to work with and more corrosion-resistant than copper or steel, but slightly less conductive than copper and not as strong as steel for very high pressures.
Brass pipes commonly use threaded fittings, compression fittings, elbows, tees, couplings, valves, and flanges for connecting and directing flow.
