Product Introduction
| Aluminum Pipe & Tube Technical Specifications | |
| Specification | Details |
| Common Alloy Series & Tempers | 1xxx Series (e.g., 1060, 1100): Commercially pure aluminum. Excellent corrosion resistance and workability, low strength. 3xxx Series (e.g., 3003): Manganese alloyed. Good strength and formability, widely used for general-purpose tube. 5xxx Series (e.g., 5052, 5086): Magnesium alloyed. Moderate to high strength, excellent marine corrosion resistance and weldability. 6xxx Series (e.g., 6061, 6063): Magnesium-silicon alloyed. Heat-treatable, good strength and excellent anodizing response. Most common for structural and mechanical applications. |
| Standard Tempers | O (Annealed): Soft, for severe forming and bending. H112 (As-Fabricated): Typical for extruded products, no specific strain-hardening. T6 (Solution Heat-Treated & Artificially Aged): Peak strength condition for 6xxx series pipes. T5 (Cooled from Extrusion & Artificially Aged): Common for extruded tubes (e.g., 6063-T5). |
| Product Types & Manufacturing | Seamless Pipe/Tube: Extruded or pierced, no weld seam. For high pressure and critical applications. Welded Pipe/Tube: Formed from sheet/coil and longitudinally welded (MIG, TIG, Laser). Most common for standard sizes. Extruded Tube/Profile: Pushed through a die, can produce complex cross-sections. Drawn Tube: Cold drawn for tighter tolerances and smoother surface. |
| Standard Dimensions (Pipe vs. Tube) | Nominal Pipe Size (NPS): 1/8" to 24" and larger. Conforms to ANSI/ASME B36.10 wall thickness schedules. Tube Sizes: Specified by exact Outside Diameter (OD) and wall thickness (WT). Common OD: 6 mm (0.25") to 300 mm (12"). Wall Thickness: For Pipe: Schedules 5, 10, 40, 80, etc. For Tube: Typically specified in mm or inches (e.g., 1.0mm, 0.125"). |
| Standard Lengths | Standard Straight Lengths: 6 m (20 ft) for pipe; 1.8 m (6 ft), 3.05 m (10 ft), 6.1 m (20 ft) for tube. Random Mill Lengths: Typically 3 m to 6 m (10 ft to 20 ft). Cut-to-Length: Custom lengths as specified. Coils: Available for small diameter annealed tubing. |
| Key Mechanical Properties (Typical) | 6061-T6: Tensile: 310 MPa (45 ksi), Yield: 276 MPa (40 ksi), Elongation: 10%. 6063-T5: Tensile: 185 MPa (27 ksi), Yield: 145 MPa (21 ksi), Elongation: 12%. 3003-H14: Tensile: 150 MPa (22 ksi), Yield: 130 MPa (19 ksi). 5052-O: Tensile: 195 MPa (28 ksi), Yield: 90 MPa (13 ksi), Elongation: 25%. |
| Standard Specifications | Pipe: ASTM B241/B241M (Aluminum Alloy Seamless Pipe and Seamless Extruded Tube) Tube: ASTM B210 (Aluminum Alloy Drawn Seamless Tubes), ASTM B483 (General Service Drawn Tubes) Structural Tube: ASTM B429 (Aluminum-Alloy Extruded Structural Pipe and Tube) Welded Tube: ASTM B313 (Aluminum Alloy Welded Round Tube) |
| Surface Finish | Mill Finish (MF): As-extruded or as-welded, may have visible die lines or weld bead. Anodized (Clear or Color): Electrochemical coating for corrosion/wear resistance and appearance. Polished/Buffered: Mechanical polish for a reflective surface. Painted/Powder Coated: Applied organic coating for color and protection. |
| Fabrication & Performance | Weldability: Excellent for most alloys using TIG or MIG methods; 5xxx series is preferred for welded structures. Formability/Bendability: Good, especially in annealed (O) tempers. Corrosion Resistance: Excellent; 5xxx and 6xxx series offer good performance in various environments. Conductivity: Good thermal and electrical conductivity, especially 1xxx and 6xxx series. |
| Primary Applications | Structural & Architecture: Handrails, frames, trusses, space frames, curtain walls. Fluid Transport: Hydraulic lines, pneumatic systems, irrigation pipes, chemical processing. Heat Transfer: Heat exchanger tubes, condenser tubes, solar thermal systems. Marine & Offshore: Boat railings, masts, piping systems, offshore platforms. General Engineering: Machinery parts, weldments, protective cages, furniture. |
