What is Brass?
Brass is the broad term for a range of copper-zinc alloys. Depending on the composition, the physical properties of the metal can vary. This includes strength, machinability, ductility, wear-resistance, hardness, colour, anti-microbial, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance.
Two qualities, the ability to form castings and great machinability, make brass the perfect choice for manufacturing precision valves and fittings.
What Makes Brass Good for LPG?
Sparks generated by “friction” can commonly occur when other metals impact on each other or on other materials such as steel or concrete. A mechanical or frictional spark is generated.
Unlike ferrous metals – metals containing Iron – which will generate sparks upon impact, brass does not spark on impact. Brass is considered to be "non-sparking".
Brass also tolerates low temperatures. This is important because LPG vaporisation can cause gas bottles and valves to become very cold. Brass does not become brittle at low temperatures, unlike mild steel.
Avoiding Sparks
The need to avoid sparks in a flammable environment, such as around LPG gas vapour, is easy to understand. The fact that brass does not spark makes it ideal for the coupling of LPG valves and hoses. The perfect everyday examples are BBQ gas valves, regulators and autogas filling guns.
During the connection of these common LPG fittings, it is not at all unusual for the fittings to bang into each other. Being made from brass means that these impacts do not generate any sparks, preventing possible ignition, if flammable gas vapour were to be present.
