BS 1400

Hayes Metals has been producing copper alloys to BS 1400 since 1946.

Overview

The BS 1400 British standard encompasses a wide range of copper alloy ingots and high-conductivity copper castings. These materials are specified for their chemical compositions, mechanical properties, and other characteristics to ensure they meet stringent industry requirements. The standard includes various grades of copper alloys, each tailored for specific applications, such as high tensile strength brass for commercial plumbing fittings and other water-type valves. This ensures that the materials are fit-for-purpose and deliver reliable performance in their intended uses.
