Brass IS 319, also known as Commercial Brass or IS 319 Grade Brass, is a copper-zinc alloy that offers excellent corrosion resistance, machinability, and strength. It is widely used in plumbing, mechanical components, automotive, electrical, and industrial fluid-handling systems.

What Are Brass IS 319 Cutting Pipes & Tubes?

Brass IS 319 Cutting Pipes & Tubes are hollow cylindrical products manufactured from IS 319 standard brass, typically containing 60–63% copper and 37–40% zinc. The “cutting grade” indicates that this alloy is optimized for high machinability and precision fabrication.

IS 319 brass is particularly suitable for applications that require cutting, threading, bending, or shaping, making it ideal for industrial machinery, plumbing fittings, and precision components. Its natural corrosion resistance ensures long-term performance in water, air, and mild chemical environments.


Key Features of Brass IS 319 Cutting Pipes & Tubes

  • Excellent corrosion resistance in water, air, and mild chemicals
  • High machinability for precision cutting, threading, and shaping
  • Lightweight yet durable
  • Good thermal and electrical conductivity
  • High tensile and yield strength
  • Easy to join via soldering, brazing, or mechanical fittings
  • Smooth surface finish with minimal post-processing

These properties make Brass IS 319 pipes and tubes suitable for a wide range of industrial, commercial, and residential applications.


Chemical Composition of Brass IS 319

Element Composition (%)
Copper (Cu) 60 – 63
Zinc (Zn) 37 – 40
Lead (Pb) 0.05 – 0.35
Iron (Fe) 0.1 max
Nickel (Ni) 0.05 max
Tin (Sn) 0.05 max
Aluminum (Al) 0.05 max

Role of Key Elements:

  • Copper (Cu): Provides corrosion resistance, strength, and ductility
  • Zinc (Zn): Enhances strength, hardness, and wear resistance
  • Lead (Pb): Improves machinability for precision cutting
  • Trace Elements (Fe, Ni, Sn, Al): Maintain mechanical integrity and surface quality

The controlled composition ensures excellent machinability and durability for industrial applications.
