What wall thickness means for your project

When shopping for aluminum square tubing online, you might come across terms like "1/16 wall" and wonder what they mean.

It means that the walls are 1/16 of an inch thick.

Importance of Wall Thickness

Structural Integrity: Thicker walls provide greater strength and can handle heavier loads, ideal for structural applications.

Weight: Thinner walls result in lighter tubing, beneficial where weight matters.

Summary Table

Wall Thickness Application Suitability
1/16 inch Light-duty, decorative, framing, general purpose
1/8 inch Structural, heavy-duty
3/16 inch Structural, medium-duty
1/4 inch Heavy-duty structural, industrial
3/8 inch Extra heavy-duty, high-stress structures
1/2 inch Maximum load-bearing, industrial machinery

Understanding the wall thickness is crucial.

Anodizing Film Thickness: Uses and Benefits

Film
Thickness
Usage Suitable Scenarios Features
Thin Film
(5-10 microns)
Best for decorative
purposes and basic
anti-corrosion
protection
Indoor applications such
as furniture, lighting
fixtures, and decorative
items
Provides a layer of anti-corrosion
protection while enhancing the
visual appeal of the aluminum
surface
Medium Thickness Film
(10-25 microns)
Suitable for
outdoor use and
situations requiring
higher wear resistance
Perfect for building
exteriors, outdoor
facilities, and
applications exposed
to the elements
Offers improved weather
resistance and durability,
ensuring the aluminum maintains
its appearance and structural integrity
even in harsh conditions

Anodizing not only boosts corrosion resistance but also enhances the visual appeal, giving the tubing a smooth, uniform finish with high adhesion and durability.
