A trial with the standard division plate of hard drawn brass showed that wear between the lip of the piston and division plate was high. A satisfactory form of division plate was constructed from PTFE-impregnated bronze strip. 

The patented wire is again cleaned with acid, rinsed, and brass plated just before the second drawing. The brass acts as a drawing lubricant and as well as an adhesive to mbber. The brass composition is typically 60—70% copper with 2inc as the remainder. The patented, brass-plated wire is drawn into filaments of 0.15—0.38 mm diameter.

Supplies When the apparatus is arranged, provide 30 gm. of granulated manganese dioxide, six bottles, a little powdered antimony, a little powdered iron, bundle of fine brass wire, a taper, a strip of calico, paper with writing in black and in red ink, litmus paper, short glass tube drawn out to a fine point, deflagrating spoon, turpentine. 

Fig. 8.3. Device for slicing cylindrical gels. The gel lies in the cylindrical groove in the brass block with grooves sawn at 1-mm intervals. The frame (above) has steel wire drawn round studs at both ends to give a separation equal to that of the grooves in the block. The wire grid so formed is drawn through the gel to give mm-thick discs (Chrambach 1966).

The chemicals leached from these surfaces depend on the corrosive properties of the particular water as well as the chemical nature of the surface. Hard water tends to deposit a mineral layer on the inside of pipes and on other surfaces that essentially limits the access of water to the surfaces. On the other hand, soft water, particularly at lower pHs, can actively dissolve toxic metals such as lead or cadmium from pipes or solder. Copper in pipes is also frequently leached from pipes at high concentrations when the water has corrosive properties. Asbestos-cement has been used widely in water mains. The extraction of the asbestos fibers from these surfaces is also very much increased at lower pH and with soft water. The use of lead pipe and solder in household pipes has pretty much been abandoned in the United States. However, alloys of lead are still utilized in many faucets and brass fixtures (e.g., submersible pumps). Rather high concentrations of lead can result if water stands in these fixtures overnight. As a result it is always wise to avoid using the water first drawn from the tap in the morning for human consumption. Low levels of lead exposure in utero or in the first few years of life have been associated with delayed CNS development in humans and experimental animals. 

FIG. 29.8. The variation with temperature, on heating, of the specific heat of (a) (3-brass, and (b) CusAu (after cooling at 30°C per hour). In each case the upper curve is drawn through the experimental values and the lower curve is that to be expected in the absence of a... 

The interlaboratory study should px)ssibly lead to conclusions useful to the participants. Therefore, the results of the exercise have to be made available to them. To arrive at clear conclusions it is not sufficient to know only the performance of other participants, the mean value of the means and the between laboratory standard deviation. In fact the conclusions which can be drawn may be subject to ambiguity, especially with regards to trueness. If one biased method is used by a majority of participants of a group one individual laboratory using a more accurate method may have an outlying value. Figure 12.1 shows the results of an interlaboratory exercise on the determination of Sn in brass laboratories which applied wet methods with an acidic dissolution were all confronted to losses due to precipitation (the mean is far from the target value calculated from the preparation procedure). 

Brass can be worked into smooth shapes and drawn into the long, thin-walled tubes needed for musical Instruments. Look around and see how many brass Items you find that are both decorative and useful.
