Aluminum pipes

Aluminum pipes

Why is Aluminum such a popular metal today?

Aluminum is one of the most abundant metals in the earth's crust. Although its application has only expanded in recent decades, it is gaining more and more popularity in construction and engineering. Its properties make it a valuable and preferred metal for the implementation of various constructions and projects that need to comply with certain characteristics.

Aluminum as a metal is characterized by the following properties:

• It is 1/3 times lighter than other metals such as copper, iron, brass and steel;
• durable and at the same time resistant to low temperatures;
• has low total weight and high resistance;
• it is resistant to corrosion and does not succumb to the influence of moisture;
• flexible material subject to loading.

Application as a metal aluminum finds not only in industry, but also finds its place in the implementation of various types of household projects. Its characteristics are used to create structures where durability and lightness (total weight) of the structure are taken into account. Aluminum comes in various forms, and at Smart Metal Group you will find aluminum round and rectangular tubes, aluminum angles, aluminum rails and other aluminum products.

The advantages of using aluminum pipes

Aluminum pipes are widely preferred because, apart from possessing all the properties of Aluminum as a metal, they are easily machined and at the same time can be bent, cut and welded. The pipes themselves allow to be used for decades and have a long service life of up to about 100 years without being affected by external conditions and being deformed, corroded or destroyed in any way. They are resistant to temperature influences, moisture, rust and other negative consequences caused by different climatic conditions. At the same time, they have a low overall weight and structures made of aluminum tubes are relatively lighter than those made of other metals such as steel, iron, copper or brass.

Aluminum pipes are characterized by high strength and, at the same time, resistance to various types of acid solutions, alkalis and mechanical damage. They have low thermal conductivity and bactericidal properties. They also have a smooth surface, no jagged edges and are durable both externally and internally.

Types of aluminum pipes:

• Aluminum round pipes with a length of 6 meters from Ф16.6 to Ф50.0.
• According to wall thickness, they are divided into thin-walled and thick-walled. In Smart Metal Group you will find pipes from 1mm to 2.3mm.
• Aluminum rectangular or square tubes, more commonly known as aluminum profiles, which you can view in the section Aluminum profiles.

Application of aluminum pipes

Application in industry and construction

Aluminum pipes find their application in different types of structures and projects in the field of aviation technology, shipbuilding, professional equipment, in the implementation of pipelines or for transporting aggressive substances.

Household applications of aluminum

Pipelines

Aluminum pipes allow to be used for the construction of pipelines for transporting different types of liquids. Just keep in mind that it is not applicable for drinking water because it emits substances harmful to humans. For this reason, it is only used to transfer toxic, industrial and other liquids.

Cable protection

Aluminum pipes are also often used for the transportation and protection of different types of cables for electricity, internet, television and others in the home, in the house or in the office. They protect cables from interruptions, moisture, rodents and other factors. The aluminum tubes themselves are available in different sizes and diameters to meet the needs and characteristics of the site. They can be installed in the floor, on the ceiling or along the walls, providing effective protection for an extremely long period of time.

Interior Design

More and more often, aluminum pipes are used to create non-standard solutions in the home, office, yard or other premises. Pipes are used for the production of various interior design details, for the creation of furniture, racks, bookcases, water effects or other equipment. They are also used quite often for the construction of stair railings, stairs, door or window frames. They are used for the production of curtain rails, rods for umbrellas or sunshades, lamp stands, clothes hangers and many other non-standard solutions.

Fences and railings

Aluminum pipes are a great solution for making railings and protective structures of various types, structures and designs for stairs, landings, terraces, balconies and others. Increasingly, this metal is also chosen for the manufacture of external fences and protective structures, because it does not require constant maintenance, replacement and repainting. Aluminum retains its beauty and luster over time, it does not corrode and rust does not appear on it.

Other external structures

Aluminum tubes are a great solution for the construction of various types of outdoor structures, including bike racks, sports equipment, exercise equipment and many others. Aluminum pipes do not corrode under the influence of weather and external conditions and have a long service life. They are also used for the creation of market stalls, stands, racks, bus stops and others. They are suitable for this and are often used by architects who build structures in an urban environment.
