Product Introduction
| Technical Parameters of Aluminum Tube & Pipe | |||
| Parameter Category | Specific Parameter | Description / Typical Values | Common Standards (Examples) |
| Basic Identification | Alloy Designation | Common alloys used for tubular products. Common Alloys: • 6061-T6/T6511: The most common structural alloy. Excellent strength, weldability, and corrosion resistance. Used for frames, rails, and mechanical components. • 3003-H14/H18: Good formability and corrosion resistance. Used for heat exchangers, decorative applications. • 5052-H32: Excellent corrosion resistance, especially to salt water. Good weldability and moderate strength. • 2024-T3: High strength, primarily used in aerospace applications. Poor weldability. • 7075-T6: Ultra-high strength, used in high-stress applications. Not recommended for welding. | ASTM B210 (Drawn Tube), ASTM B241 (Extruded Tube/Pipe), ASTM B491 (Extruded Round Tube) |
| Temper | Indicates the mechanical strength. Common Tempers: • O (Annealed): Soft, maximum ductility. • H18: Full hard. • T6: Solution heat-treated and artificially aged. • T6511: Solution heat-treated, stress-relieved by stretching, and artificially aged (improved for machining). | ASTM B210, B241 | |
| Dimensional Specifications | Type | • Tube: Generally for structural, mechanical, and architectural use. Dimensions often specified by Outside Diameter (OD) and Wall Thickness (WT). • Pipe: Generally for fluid transport. Dimensions specified by Nominal Pipe Size (NPS) and schedule wall thickness. | / |
| Outside Diameter (OD) | The external diameter of the tube/pipe. Typical Range (Tube): 3 mm to 300+ mm. | / | |
| Wall Thickness (WT) | The thickness of the tube wall. Typical Range: 0.5 mm to 25+ mm. | / | |
| Inside Diameter (ID) | The internal diameter. Calculated as OD - 2*WT. | / | |
| Nominal Pipe Size (NPS) | Standardized dimension system for pipe (e.g., NPS 1/2, NPS 2, NPS 6). | ASME B36.10M, B36.19M | |
| Schedule (SCH) | Standard wall thickness designations for pipe (e.g., SCH 40, SCH 80, SCH 160). | ASME B36.10M, B36.19M | |
| OD Tolerance | Allowable deviation from the specified outside diameter. | ASTM B210, B241 | |
| Wall Thickness Tolerance | Allowable deviation from the specified wall thickness. Expressed as a percentage. | ASTM B210, B241 | |
| Straightness Tolerance | Allowable deviation from a straight line along the length. | ASTM B210, B241 | |
| Length | Standard random lengths or cut-to-length. | / | |
| Mechanical Properties | Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS) | The maximum stress the tube can withstand. Example (6061-T6): 38 ksi (262 MPa) min Example (3003-H18): 29 ksi (200 MPa) min Example (5052-H32): 31 ksi (214 MPa) min | ASTM E8/E8M |
| Tensile Yield Strength (TYS) | The stress at which the bar begins to deform plastically. Example (6061-T6): 38 ksi (262 MPa) min Example (2024-T3): 47 ksi (324 MPa) min Example (7075-T6): 69 ksi (476 MPa) min | ASTM E8/E8M | |
| Elongation at Break | The stress at which the tube begins to deform plastically. Example (6061-T6): 35 ksi (241 MPa) min Example (3003-H18): 27 ksi (186 MPa) min Example (5052-H32): 25 ksi (172 MPa) min | ASTM E8/E8M | |
| Hardness | Typical (6061-T6): Brinell 95 HB | ASTM E10 | |
| Burst Pressure | The maximum internal pressure the tube can withstand before failure. Calculated using Barlow's formula: P = 2 * S * t / D, where S is hoop stress, t is min wall thickness, D is OD. | / | |
| Physical & Chemical Properties | Density | Standard Value: 2.70 g/cm³ (0.098 lb/in³) | / |
| Modulus of Elasticity | Standard Value: 10,000 ksi (69 GPa) | / | |
| Chemical Composition | Elemental limits as defined by the alloy specification. | ASTM B210, B241 | |
| Thermal Conductivity | Example (6061-T6): 167 W/m·K | / | |
| Electrical Conductivity | Example (6061-T6): 43% IACS | ASTM B193 | |
| Fabrication & Performance | Weldability | Rating: • 6061, 5052, 3003: Excellent (using GTAW/TIG or GMAW/MIG with appropriate filler like 4043 or 5356). • 2024, 7075: Poor (crack-sensitive). | AWS D1.2 |
| Machinability | Rating (6061-T6): Good. Rating (2011-T3): Excellent (Free-machining alloy, but less common in tube form). | / | |
| Bendability / Formability | The ability to be bent without kinking or cracking. Heavily dependent on alloy, temper, and the ratio of OD to Wall Thickness. Annealed (O) tempers are best. | / | |
| Corrosion Resistance | Generally excellent for most alloys. 5052 is particularly good for marine environments. | / | |
| Anodizing Quality | Can be anodized for enhanced corrosion resistance and color. 6061 anodizes well. | / | |
| Testing & Certification | Hydrostatic Test Pressure | For pressure applications, tubes may be tested to a specified pressure without failure. | ASTM B210, B241 |
| Eddy Current Test | A non-destructive test to detect defects in seamless and welded tubes. | ASTM E215 | |
| Ultrasonic Test | A more sensitive non-destructive test for internal and external defects. | ASTM E2375 | |
