Product Notes
Extruded Aluminum Tube and Pipe Seamless vs. Structural Aluminum A structural product starts as a solid billet, separates and pressure bonds as it passes through the die, which results in longitudinal seams. A structural product is fine for many non-critical applications, but is limited in many others such as pressure and forming. Structural tube and pipe is produced by the bridge/porthole type die and mandrel process. Seamless aluminum tube and pipe are extruded by the die and mandrel or on a piercer press. The metal wall of the resulting tubular shape never separates as the material is extruded. The seamless product process results in tube and pipe better adapted to pressure and forming applications. DOM Carbon Mechanical Tube The inventory of DOM at Tube Service Company has been manufactured to the O.D. and I.D. dimensions (above 1" O.D.) and in random lengths between 17' and 24'. If customer requirements are special as to size/closer than standard tolerances/longer lengths than stocked/surface finish, such needs are normally available from our production mill sources. Stainless Type 316L (see page 34) For use in the semimconductor and other critical process gas systems, this material is available from our inventories as ultraclean tubing components (tube, pipe, fittings) in the EP (electro-polish) condition. Cut to Length Requirements A great number of the many customer orders processed by Tube Service Company are cut to specific lengths on our high speed band saws or the modern cut off machine (burr free, close tolerance, machine cut).

(1) Relative Fabrication Rating "A" = Excellent, " B " = Good, " C " = Fair, " D " = Poor MODULUS OF ELASTICITY The modulus of elasticity ot aluminum and aluminum alloys is approximately 10,300,000 Ibs/sq in. SHEARING STRENGTH Shearing strengths of aluminum alloys vary somewhat, but will average about 60% of the ultimate tensile strength. FATIGUE STRENGTH The fatigue strength of aluminum and its alloys varies from about one-quarter to one-half of the tensile strength for sections having smooth surfaces and no abrupt changes of contour. In the case of rough surfaces or irregular sections, test values obtained with smooth specimens do not necessarily apply.
