6063-T5 Aluminum Pipe - SCH 40 - 1/2 Inch
This 1/2" NPS Schedule 40 pipe is made from 6063-T5 aluminum, the preferred "architectural alloy" for its smooth surface and excellent corrosion resistance. Conforming to ASTM B241, it provides moderate strength for structural and fluid handling applications where aesthetics are critical. In stock Los Angeles.
- 6063-T5 Aluminum Construction
- ASTM B241 Certified
- 27,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Corrosion Resistance
6063 aluminum, an alloy of magnesium and silicon, is known as architectural aluminum for its superior extrudability and surface finish. The T5 temper indicates artificial aging after extrusion, resulting in moderate strength and good workability. As a seamless extruded pipe conforming to ASTM B241, it offers uniform strength ideal for architectural frameworks and fluid conveyance systems.
Its small 1/2" nominal size is well-suited for applications like irrigation systems, low-pressure air lines, furniture components, and custom store fixtures where a balance of light weight and structural integrity is required. Its inherent resistance to atmospheric corrosion makes it a durable, low-maintenance material.
