Jaydee, I said that is not important only wanna prove brass is not a loser when acting as the tube in a rad comparing to copper and aluminum, even it has a 1/4 conductive K of copper, that is all. However there is still some space to choose another metal with a lower conductive K according to my calculation, of cource at first make sure all we talk about is the big or huge rad.
Ok, I misinterpreted your comments some. I thought you were saying it didn't matter much what the material was for the tubes not just copper brass or AL.
