This aluminium finned tube is a metal tube with fins formed along its outer surface. It is supplied with a polished bright surface and it is made for industrial use. The tube has a round section, and the fins run along its length, so the part keeps the same outline from one end to the other.
A finned tube is used where a plain tube is not enough on its own. The fins add outer surface to the tube, and the part still stays a single piece that can be handled, stored and fitted like an ordinary tube, with no separate part to line up or to fix in place.
Material and Shape
The tube is made of aluminium, a light metal that is easy to form and to cut. It is produced with a round section, and the fins are formed on the outside of the wall. Aluminium keeps the finished part light for its size, which helps when the tube is long or when several tubes are used together in one assembly.
Surface Finish
The surface of the tube is polished bright. Polishing leaves the body and the fins with a clean, even finish, so the part looks tidy when it is fitted and does not call for further treatment before it goes into use. The bright finish also makes the shape of the fins easy to see when the tube is checked on arrival.
Eco-friendly
The tube is offered as an eco-friendly option. Aluminium is a metal that can be recycled, so a finned tube made from it can go back into the metal stream at the end of its working life instead of being thrown away. For a buyer who weighs the environmental side of a purchase as well as the price, this is one point to keep in mind.
Industrial Use
The tube is made for industrial use. In industry a finned tube is often one part of a larger assembly, where both the bore of the tube and its outer surface have a role to play. The same kind of light metal tube with a clean finish is also used in fields such as decoration, medical equipment and agriculture.
