What is the strength of an aluminum tube and a steel tube?


An aluminum tube, compared to a steel tube, is more susceptible to bending over long intervals. According to our calculations, the maximum distance between two supports (for a wall frame) or two supports (for a freestanding frame) is 150 cm. It is worth noting that steel is much heavier than aluminum. The actual weight per meter can be found in the product description. If you need additional strength calculations, we recommend consulting a constructional engineer or scaffolding specialist.
