WHAT ARE THE USES OF ALUMINIUM ROUND TUBE?

Aluminium tube or aluminium round pipe has an extremely wide range of uses.

It can be used as static framing, scaffolding or fenceposts. It’s especially suited for temporary or portable structures due to its low weight and corrosion resistance. This is especially valuable for outdoor or marine uses.

Aluminium round tube is also a common choice for structural or connecting brackets in automotive and mechanical applications, interior design, furniture making and many other areas.

Aluminium round tubes are widely used in heat exchangers and associated pipework. It’s especially used in heating and air conditioning systems. It can also be used in specialist plumbing for process pipework in low- and medium-pressure gas and fluid systems.

Many hobbyists and specialist engineers buy aluminium tube to form the basis of machined components.

Because of its electrical conductivity, small-diameter aluminium tubes can be used to make connectors and conduits.

WHAT ARE THE PROPERTIES OF ALUMINIUM ROUND TUBE?

Aluminium tube is distinguished by its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. Aluminium is already light for its strength in comparison to many other common metals, and this is boosted when combined with the inherent strength of the round tube profile. Where load-bearing must be combined with weight reduction, an aluminium tube is ideal.

Aluminium tubes are also corrosion-resistant. Aluminium doesn’t rust and when exposed to moisture only forms a light surface layer of oxidation that protects the metal underneath. It has excellent corrosion resistance when exposed to many other chemicals and harsh environments.

An aluminium round tube is also highly thermally and electrically conductive.
