ASTM B241 3003 Aluminum Pipe & Tube | 3003 Seamless Aluminum Tube
We are a professional ASTM B241 3003 aluminum pipe and tube manufacturer and supplier in China, supplying seamless aluminum pipes and seamless extruded tubes for industrial piping, heat transfer and pressure applications.
Our 3003 aluminum pipes and tubes can be supplied in standard and customized sizes with different outside diameters, wall thicknesses and lengths according to ASTM B241/B241M and customer specifications.
ASTM B241 3003 Aluminum Pipe & Tube
ASTM B241/B241M is the standard specification for aluminum and aluminum-alloy seamless pipe and seamless extruded round tube intended primarily for pressure applications.
For 3003 aluminum alloy, common tempers covered by the specification include 3003-O, 3003-H112 and 3003-F, depending on product form and project requirements.

3003 Aluminum Alloy Properties
Aluminum 3003 is an aluminum-manganese alloy from the 3000 series. It is a non-heat-treatable aluminum alloycombining moderate strength with good corrosion resistance, formability and weldability.
These characteristics make 3003 suitable for applications where corrosion resistance and fabrication performance are more important than high structural strength.
Main advantages include:
- Good corrosion resistance
- Good welding performance
- Excellent formability
- Lightweight construction
- Good thermal conductivity
- Suitable for many industrial fluid-handling applications
3003 obtains its strength mainly through cold working rather than heat treatment.
ASTM B241 3003-H112 Aluminum Pipe
3003-H112 aluminum pipe is frequently specified for extruded pipe and tube applications where moderate mechanical strength and good fabrication characteristics are required.
The exact mechanical properties, dimensional tolerances and testing requirements should be determined according to the applicable ASTM B241/B241M edition, pipe dimensions and purchase specification.
We can supply customized OD, wall thickness and length according to project requirements.
Applications of 3003 Aluminum Pipe
ASTM B241 3003 aluminum pipes and tubes can be used for:
- Industrial fluid piping
- Pressure piping systems
- Heat transfer equipment
- HVAC and refrigeration components
- Process equipment
- Water and utility systems
- General industrial fabrication
For aggressive marine, chemical or high-pressure environments, the aluminum alloy should always be selected according to the actual operating pressure, temperature and corrosion conditions.
ASTM B241 vs ASTM B210 vs ASTM B221
Different ASTM standards may apply depending on how the aluminum tube is manufactured.
| Standard | Typical Product | Manufacturing Form |
|---|---|---|
| ASTM B241 | Pressure Pipe & Tube | Seamless / Seamless Extruded |
| ASTM B210 | Seamless Tube | Drawn Seamless |
| ASTM B221 | Extruded Tube & Profiles | Extruded Products |
For inquiries, specifying the correct ASTM standard is important because ASTM B241 aluminum pipe is not automatically interchangeable with ASTM B210 or ASTM B221 tube.
