{"product_id":"9781843398301","title":"Performance And Metal Release Of Non-Leaded Brass Meters, Components And Fittings","description":"Leaded brass has historically been used in potable water systems, however it has been found to leach lead under certain circumstances and therefore alternative non-leaded brass has been developed. Non-leaded brass is defined as brass with no lead added, which typically equates to a lead content of 0.1 percent to 0.25 percent by weight. There are several knowledge gaps associated with the manufacture and performance of in-line and premise plumbing components made using these new non-leaded materials, including operations and maintenance issues that may arise with their use, and their potential for leaching other compounds into the drinking water.\u003cp\u003eThe project developed a series of topic papers that identified the issues and knowledge gaps related to the implementation of non-leaded components in the distribution system. Based on information from the topic papers, research needs were identified and a research agenda for non-leaded brass was developed, with projects identified in the following major issue areas: \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eLeaching, Performance, and Product Acceptance Criteria\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCosts\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePlumbing Code Revisions and Marketplace Enforcement\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEducation and Technology Transfer\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eManufacturing Issues\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRegulatory Impact and Implementation \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"IWA Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47032660164848,"sku":"9781843398301","price":226.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781843398301_p0.jpg?v=1763741616","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781843398301","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
