ASTM B134 C23000 red brass wire is solid wire drawn from UNS C23000 (CuZn15), an 85/15 copper zinc alloy. The high copper content gives it good corrosion resistance, resistance to dezincification, good ductility and high thermal conductivity compared with 70/30 brass. B134 is the ASTM standard for brass wire. Seamless red brass tube is the most used material in different industries and this falls under ASTM B135 instead. USA Piping Solution manufactures and supplies ASTM B134 C23000 red brass wire in hard-drawn (H) and annealed (OS) tempers with material traceability and mill test certificates. USA Piping Solution supplies quality-tested C23000 Red Brass Tubes with material traceability and mill test certificates.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is ASTM B134 C23000 red brass wire?
It is solid wire made from UNS C23000 (85/15 red brass, about 85% copper and 15% zinc) to ASTM B134, the standard for brass wire.
2. What is the difference between ASTM B134 and ASTM B135?
ASTM B134 covers wrought brass wire, while ASTM B135 covers seamless brass tubes.
3. Is UNS C23000 the same as 85/15 Red Brass?
Yes, UNS C23000 is 85/15 Red Brass, containing approximately 85% copper and 15% zinc.
4. What is the difference between C23000 and C26000 Brass?
C23000 contains approximately 85% copper and 15% zinc, while C26000 contains approximately 70% copper and 30% zinc.
5. Is C23000 red brass wire resistant to corrosion?
Yes, C23000 red brass wire offers good corrosion resistance, particularly in freshwater environments.
