2" x 0.25" Aluminum Square Tube 6061-T6 288" Length
This 2" x 0.25" aluminum square tube is ideal for applications that require a stronger and more rigid material than the 0.125" wall version. The 0.25" wall thickness offers enhanced load-bearing capacity and durability, making it suitable for medium to heavy-duty structural applications, including framing for industrial machinery, construction frameworks, and transportation components.
Size: 2 inches x 0.25 inches
Material: 6061 Aluminum Alloy (T6 Condition)
Length: 288 inches (24 feet)
Features: The thicker wall (0.25 inches) offers enhanced load-bearing capacity, making it suitable for medium to heavy structural applications. 6061-T6 aluminum alloy's strength and corrosion resistance ensure excellent performance in various industrial environments.
Applications: Commonly used for large frame structures, heavy-duty brackets, machinery, bridge construction, etc.
Material Meets These Standard(s): ASTM-B221
