FAQ – Everything You Need to Know About Aluminium Round Tubes
Aluminium round tubing is a hollow cylindrical profile made from an aluminium alloy. Its circular cross-section makes it suitable for a wide range of manufacturing, assembly, transport and construction applications.
6061-T6 aluminium round tubing combines relatively low weight, good corrosion resistance and good mechanical strength for various types of projects.
Aluminium round tubing offers several advantages:
- Reduced weight compared with steel
- Good corrosion resistance
- Good strength-to-weight ratio
- Ease of fabrication and machining
- Cylindrical shape suited to various applications
- Reduced maintenance in many environments
Aluminium is also valued when reducing weight is an important consideration in a project’s design.
Aluminium round tubing is available in 6061-T6 alloy, which is commonly used for its combination of mechanical strength, corrosion resistance and fabrication properties.
The choice of alloy should nevertheless be based on the requirements of the project, including loads, operating environment and intended fabrication methods.
The main difference lies in the shape of their cross-section and how that geometry meets the requirements of a project.
Aluminium round tubing
The circular cross-section of round tubing is particularly suited to applications where a cylindrical shape, ease of rotation or stress distribution around the profile are relevant.
Aluminium square or rectangular tubing
Square tubing and rectangular tubing offer flat surfaces that can facilitate assembly, fastening and integration into certain structures. Rectangular tubing can also provide greater rigidity in a specific direction depending on its orientation and dimensions.
The choice between these profiles therefore depends on the required geometry, loads, required rigidity, assembly method and project requirements.
Aluminium round tubing is available in different diameters and wall thicknesses.
At Groupe David, round tubes are available with:
- Outside diameter: 1/4″ and larger (≈ 6.35 mm and larger)
- Wall thicknesses: multiple thicknesses available
- Lengths: 20′ to 24′ (≈ 6.10 to 7.32 m)
- Alloy: 6061-T6
- Colour: Silver
Availability may vary depending on the dimensions and requirements of the project.
Aluminium round tubing can be used in a variety of industries and projects, including:
- Structural fabrication and assembly
- Industrial equipment
- Transportation and trailers
- Outdoor structures and installations
- Supports and mechanical components
- Furniture and specialised equipment
- Custom fabrication projects
Its low weight and corrosion resistance can be particularly advantageous for certain indoor and outdoor applications.
Choosing the right round tubing depends mainly on three factors.
Diameter and wall thickness
The outside diameter and wall thickness should be selected based on the project’s dimensions, loads and required rigidity.
Alloy
6061-T6 is suitable for many applications thanks to its combination of strength and fabrication properties.
Operating environment
The environment in which the tubing will be used can also influence the choice of material and profile characteristics, particularly when corrosion resistance and maintenance are important considerations.
