This robust tube is crafted from high-quality SAE660 bronze, known for its durability and versatility. With a wall thickness of 3.2mm and a weight of 2.69kg per metre, this bronze tube is designed to meet the demanding requirements of various industrial and engineering applications.
Key Features
-
Material Composition: Constructed from SAE660 bronze, this tube offers fair corrosion resistance, making it suitable for applications exposed to moisture and some chemicals. This feature ensures that the tube maintains its integrity and appearance over time.
-
Dimensions: With an external diameter of 25.4mm and an internal diameter of 19mm, this tube features a substantial 3.2mm wall thickness. This design provides excellent strength and allows the tube to withstand various pressures and stresses encountered in industrial settings.
-
Finish: The mill finish provides a smooth surface that enhances the tube's appearance while making it easy to handle during installation. This finish also facilitates minimal friction during assembly, contributing to an efficient workflow.
-
Weldability: The poor weldability of the SAE660 bronze tube means that while it can be used in applications that require joining, alternative fastening methods may be more appropriate. This characteristic encourages users to consider the best approach for their specific project needs.
-
Corrosion Resistance: The fair corrosion resistance of this bronze tube makes it a suitable choice for environments where exposure to the elements is a factor. While it may not be as resistant as other materials, it offers adequate protection in many applications.
