For round hole perforated sheet in Brass, the controlling selection factors are the media being filtered, the cleaning regime and the service temperature. The grade data for Brass is summarized below together with every specification supplied.
Why Choose Brass for Round Hole Perforated Sheet
The decorative and spark-resistant screening alloy. For round hole perforated sheet, this matters when good atmospheric and fresh-water resistance; unsuitable for ammonia service is the controlling requirement.
Alloy Properties
| Grade designation | H65 / CuZn35 |
|---|---|
| Magnetic response | Non-magnetic |
| Service temperature | approx. +200 °C |
| Corrosion characteristic | Good atmospheric and fresh-water resistance; unsuitable for ammonia service |
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.
Comparable Alloys
Within the copper family: brass for economy and appearance, phosphor bronze for fatigue strength and marine air, pure copper where conductivity (EMI shielding) is the point. For structural filtration duties, stainless 304/316 is the usual alternative.
