Kedla Aluminium Round Tube 23,4 mm OD x 2.5 m: EX-R54 Profile Structural Medium-Duty Framing and Load Support

Structural Strength with a 3/4 Inch Diameter Finish

 

The Kedla Aluminium Round Tube (Profile EX-R54) is a robust structural profile designed for projects that require a substantial 3/4 inch visual presence combined with genuine load-bearing strength. Manufactured by Kedla and typically supplied through Castor & Ladder Supply, this tube features a noticeable Outer Diameter (OD) of 19.05 mm (exactly 3/4 inch) and a strong, structural 1.6 mm wall thickness. This thicker wall dramatically increases the tube's rigidity, making it ideal for creating secure, durable, and reliable frames that resist bending and deflection.

Provided in a convenient 2.5-metre length, this tube minimizes wastage while being manageable for transport. Crafted from high-quality aluminium (Alloy 6063-T6), it boasts excellent natural corrosion resistance, ensuring its integrity for long-term structural use in demanding interior and exterior environments. It is competitively priced and highly valued for professional fabrication where strength and precision are paramount.

Top 3 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

 

1. How much stronger is this R54 tube than the R53 tube (0.89mm wall)?

   • The R54 tube is significantly stronger. The increase in wall thickness from 0.89 mm to 1.6 mm provides a substantial leap in structural stiffness and load-bearing capacity.

2. What is the Inner Diameter (ID) of this tube?

   • The Inner Diameter (ID) is calculated as Outer Diameter minus twice the Wall Thickness. Therefore, 19.05 mm minus (2 x 1.6 mm) equals 15.85 mm.

3. Is this tube easy to bend for curved projects?

   • Due to the thick 1.6 mm wall, this tube is stiff. It requires a proper mandrel or hydraulic tube bender to achieve clean, professional curves without the tube collapsing or kinking.
