Profall’s aluminum rectangular tubing

In Profall’s catalog, you will find one type of tubing that belongs to this category: it’s our aluminum rectangular tubing. These are standard profiles, which means they are extrusions with simple shapes, sizes, and dimensional tolerances (+/- 0.15 mm on the side)

These tubes find widespread use in endless industrial sectors, such as:

• construction
• medical
• automotive
• furnishing
• mechanics and electromechanics

These extrusions are appreciated in several fields because they offer unique qualities and advantages. Their lightness and resistance to corrosion, external agents, and shocks are just a few examples.

According to its size, aluminum rectangular tubing can fulfill different functions. Let’s see all the configurations Profall can supply you with:

The aluminum alloys used for rectangular tubing

No matter which size they have, rectangular tubes are manufactured resorting to the properties of the best aluminum alloys. Let’s see more in detail which ones Profall uses:

• 1050: it is easy to work, has high resistance to corrosion and excellent electrical and thermal properties
• 1070: it offers good workability, high thermal conductivity, low density, and excellent resistance to deformation
• 3103: it offers high resistance to corrosion, it is easy to work, has good mechanical resistance and unique thermal properties
• 6060: it contains magnesium and silicone and is easy to work, it offers high mechanical and deformation resistance and excellent thermal properties

How to choose the right size for different applications

This question might seem simple to answer, but it is not. How do you choose the right size for an aluminum rectangular tubing? It depends on the specific use it is designed for, of course.

According to that, you must take into account:

1. The complexity of the structure you will have to build, which implies using specific tubing
2. The available installation space, according to which you can resort to an aluminum rectangular tubing with wider or thinner sizes
3. The desired aesthetic result, because a large tubing and a small tubing offer different visual effects
4. The load to bear, because the aluminum rectangular tubing size must be enough to resist and not collapse

The advantages of aluminum rectangular tubing and sizes

Every aluminum rectangular tubing has benefits. According to the size, these advantages can even be clearer. Generally, though, we can assure you that every tube offers the following qualities:

1. Lightness, because aluminum is a light metal, thus easy to transport and install
2. Resistance, because despite its lightness, aluminum rectangular tubing of different sizes is resistant to corrosion, weather, shocks, and thermal stress
3. Rigidity, which is important so that they can be used in every structure while guaranteeing the stability required
4. Versatility, because according to the size of the aluminum rectangular tubing, it can be used in several industrial sectors
5. Low cost, because aluminum is a metal that is more affordable on the market compared to steel, for example
