Outstanding in low-lead bronze for drinking water installations

Product catalog summary

Introduction
The document discusses the use of low-lead bronze, specifically the copper alloy CuSn5Zn5Pb2 C-GC (CC499K), for drinking water installations. This material is offered by KS Gleitlager and complies with the EC Drinking Water Directive (98/83/EC), the German Federal Environmental Agency recommendations, and the Drinking Water Ordinance as per DIN 50930-6 (2013).

Specifications
The copper alloy is designed for the sanitary and fittings industry, providing a high-quality continuous cast product. It is available in various geometries, including standard round dimensions and special shapes like square, hexagonal, and octagonal bars, as well as L and T sections.

Quality Assurance
KS Gleitlager employs state-of-the-art measuring and testing techniques to ensure high quality and process reliability. This includes maintaining small tolerances (e.g., external diameter tolerance from 0.2 mm) and low wall thicknesses (starting from 3.5 mm). The straightening quality is excellent, comparable to brass, with a unique range of dimensions up to Ø 504 mm external diameter.

Quality Control
Qualified experts conduct continuous quality controls, regular sampling, product analyses, and dimensional checks using emission, x-ray, and atomic absorption spectrometry to ensure maximum customer satisfaction.
