Choosing Aluminum Round Tube or Pipe: What Do You Need to Know?
Confused between aluminum round tube and pipe for your project? Selecting the wrong one can lead to fitting issues, structural problems, or unnecessary costs. The main difference lies in how they are measured and their intended use. Pipe uses nominal inside diameter (ID) for fluid/gas transport, while tube uses exact outside diameter (OD) for structural […]
Why use extruded aluminum tubes?
Confused about what "extruded aluminum" actually means for your project? Choosing the right material form is key, and misunderstanding terms can lead to problems. Extruded aluminum is aluminum alloy that has been forced through a shaped opening, called a die. This process creates long pieces with a consistent cross-section, perfect for window frames, structural parts, […]
What advantage does seamless aluminum tube have?
Struggling with tube failures under pressure or inconsistent structural integrity? Welded or seamed tubes might be the weak link in your demanding application. Seamless aluminum tubes1 offer superior pressure resistance and uniform strength because they lack weld seams. This makes them ideal for critical applications requiring high reliability and leak-proof performance. This key difference offers […]
