Brass Temporary Cone & Basket Strainers

Material page for temporary cone & basket strainers in Brass. The decorative and spark-resistant screening alloy. Covers the grade designation (H65 / CuZn35), corrosion and magnetic behavior, cleaning and compatibility notes, and the specifications available.

Why Choose Brass for Temporary Cone & Basket Strainers

The decorative and spark-resistant screening alloy. For temporary cone & basket strainers, this matters when good atmospheric and fresh-water resistance; unsuitable for ammonia service is the controlling requirement.

Alloy Properties

Grade designationH65 / CuZn35
Magnetic responseNon-magnetic
Service temperatureapprox. +200 °C
Corrosion characteristicGood atmospheric and fresh-water resistance; unsuitable for ammonia service

Corrosion Behavior in Filtration Service

Copper and brass temporary cone & basket strainers resist atmospheric corrosion and fresh water well, tarnishing to a stable patina. Avoid ammonia and ammonium compounds (stress-corrosion cracking of brass) and strong oxidizing acids. In marine service, phosphor bronze outperforms plain brass.

Cleaning & Compatibility

Clean copper-alloy mesh with mild detergent or dilute citric acid; avoid ammonia-based cleaners entirely. In contact with more noble metals in wet service the copper alloy becomes the sacrificial partner — isolate or accept the loss rate.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is Brass worth the premium over stainless?

Specify Brass when the datasheet chemistry rules stainless out — good atmospheric and fresh-water resistance; unsuitable for ammonia service. For everything else, 316L is usually the economic choice.

Can Brass temporary cone & basket strainers be welded into frames?

Yes — spot, TIG and plasma welding are standard for framing and edging. Use matching filler, keep heat input low to protect the fine wires, and re-passivate stainless after fabrication.

Is Brass temporary cone & basket strainers magnetic?

Brass temporary cone & basket strainers is non-magnetic. Note that heavy cold-working during weaving can make austenitic stainless slightly magnetic at the wire surface.

What corrosion resistance does Brass offer?

Brass provides good atmospheric and fresh-water resistance; unsuitable for ammonia service, with a practical service range of approx. +200 °C.
