Aluminum pipe is most commonly used to transport large quantities of liquids or gases like water, oil, or gas. Its lightweight and excellent strength properties make it a natural choice for the plumbing and construction industries as a result.

Because 6061-T6 pipes are easily fabricated, it’s a popular choice for use in plumbing applications. When determining the right dimensions for your project, an aluminum pipe is measured from the inside nominal diameter and then the thickness of the wall (also known as schedule).

6061 t6 aluminum pipe is a magnesium and silicon alloyed aluminum material. This good all-purpose alloy has good corrosion resistance and formability and has medium strength. It has good machining characteristics and has excellent appearance after anodizing.
