Top quality aluminum tubes, when used for construction, show excellent strength, light weight, enduring weather resistance and long service life. Generally speaking, they can last twenty years without changes of gloss or color. Yet, not all aluminum tubes give such perfect performance. Experienced buyers are usually skillful and patient enough to pick out really quality ones. Here are some tips for green hands.
First, you should check whether the tubes come from a reliable manufacturer. Pay attention to its name and production licence number. Make sure the tubes meet your basic requirement by checking their technical conditions, specifications and production dates. Second, observe the surface. Aluminum tubes of top quality should have bright smooth color without any scratches or bubbles. Third, thickness also proves to be an important parameter. Take window and door frames for example. The thickness should be no less than 1.0mm. Fourth, the coating thickness of anodized aluminum tubes should be over 10μm, electrocoating over 17μm, powder coating between 40μm and 120μm and PVDF coating over 30μm. Fifth, if you are searching for aluminum tubes for moist regions, you have to pay special attention to rust resistance.
It’s worth mentioning that price matches quality. If you want top quality aluminum tubes, you should be ready to pay high price. Therefore, it’s necessary to learn something about prices in advance so that you would be able to judge whether a price you are offered is reasonable. In this way, you can avoid cheated by people selling common goods at high prices. Haomei Aluminum manufactures aluminum tubes of all kinds of specifications.
