Aluminium instrumentation tubing is a top-notch, lightweight option crafted for precision measurement and control systems in various industrial settings. Companies like Bosega Pipes & Tubes in Cape Town, South Africa, supply this tubing, which is celebrated for its impressive corrosion resistance, smooth internal surface, and outstanding thermal and electrical conductivity. The combination of being lightweight yet durable makes aluminium a perfect fit for instrumentation systems where easy installation, resilience against environmental factors, and a long lifespan are crucial.
Typically, this tubing is made from alloys like 6061, 6063, and 5083, which include aluminium along with small amounts of magnesium, silicon, and manganese to boost strength and corrosion resistance. Depending on the specific alloy and temper, the tubing can offer tensile strengths from 150 to 350 MPa and yield strengths between 100 and 250 MPa. It boasts excellent formability, machinability, and weldability, ensuring precision and reliability in demanding instrumentation setups.
