Aluminum Pipe Alloys Please refer to our Aluminum Alloys page for information about the different aluminum alloys.
Standard Pipe Finishes Mill Finish - Standard smooth, semi reflective finish, as produced at the mill with no further treatments applied. May contain scuffs and scratches from transportation, handling and shearing operations, further surface preperation may be needed for cosmetic applications.
General Pipe Information Generally pipe sizes refer to the approximate size of the INSIDE diameter of the pipe and not the outside diameter as tube is referred to. Pipe sizes can be confusing, please refer to the chart below for the actual dimensions of pipe based on the nominal listed size.
