COPPER BS 1400

BS 1400 is a British Standard specification that covers copper alloy ingots and castings intended for general engineering use. This standard includes a wide variety of copper-based alloys such as gunmetals, bronzes, brasses, and high-conductivity copper grades. These materials are typically used in casting applications where strength, corrosion resistance, and durability are important.

Copper BS 1400 alloys are designated by letter and number codes (e.g., LG2, PB1, HTB1), each representing a specific composition and intended application. The alloys in this standard are widely used in engineering industries for producing components like valves, pump bodies, fittings, bearings, bushings, and general hardware.

Key Features:

• High corrosion resistance – ideal for marine and industrial environments

• Excellent casting properties

• Good machinability

• Variety of compositions for different mechanical and chemical requirements

Common Alloys Under BS 1400:

• LG2 – Leaded gunmetal, good general-purpose alloy, excellent machinability

• PB1 – Phosphor bronze, high strength and fatigue resistance

• HTB1 – High tensile brass, good for pressure tight castings

• G1, G3, G5 – Gunmetal grades with varying lead, tin, and zinc content

Applications:

• Pump and valve components

• Bearings and bushings

• Pipe fittings

• Gears and marine parts

• Architectural castings
