Brass Castings and Machined Connection Components

Relia’s annular-body catalogue provides a flange and bore reference, while fitting enquiries add different end geometries. Identify whether the part joins a fluid body, locates another component or provides a simple clearance. The chosen alloy and supplied condition follow that duty. Colour alone cannot distinguish the actual brass composition or establish whether the example was cast or forged.

A three-way fitting introduces several connection ends whose standards, sealing arrangement and orientation matter together. A thread name without engagement and seat details may leave the joint uncertain. Mark the controlled thread, shoulder and passage relationships, and identify any machined internal intersection that needs burr removal before final cleaning.

The order identifies actual alloy and condition, while dimensional inspection checks the specified contacts. Any leakage or other operating test has its own article and acceptance conditions. Relia agrees sample criteria before manufacture, provides agreed key-dimensional records per order and arranges batch production after your sample approval.

Use the flange page for the cast-versus-forged component comparison. Use the bronze and sleeve pages when the purchasing question concerns a bearing contact rather than a brass connection. Keeping those applications separate avoids a broad copper-alloy page that suggests the materials are interchangeable.
