Kedla Aluminium Square Tube 25 mm x 2.5 m: EX-R62 Profile Structural Framing and Medium Load Support

Robust Square Profile for Professional Framing and Sturdy Structures

 

The Kedla Aluminium Square Tube (Profile EX-R62) is a popular, heavy-duty profile designed for projects requiring excellent structural integrity, high torsional stiffness, and a clean, modern aesthetic. Manufactured by Kedla and typically supplied through Castor & Ladder Supply, this tube features large sides of 19.05 mm (exactly 3/4 inch) and a sturdy 1.22 mm wall thickness. This combination ensures high resistance to bending and twisting, making it the preferred choice for reliable load-bearing frames, secure enclosures, and architectural features.

Provided in a convenient 2.5-metre length, this tube is easy to handle and transport while minimizing joint requirements. Crafted from high-quality aluminium (Alloy 6063-T6), it boasts excellent natural corrosion resistance, guaranteeing long-term durability in exposed interior or exterior environments. It is competitively priced and highly valued for custom fabrication, professional displays, and workbench construction.

Top 3 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

 

1. What is the Inner Dimension (ID) of the tube?

   • The Inner Dimension (ID) is calculated as Side Length minus twice the Wall Thickness. Therefore, 19.05 mm minus (2 x 1.22 mm) equals 16.61 mm.

2. How much load can this tube support?

   • While specific load ratings depend on the span and bracing, this 19.05mm x 1.22mm tube is suitable for medium-duty static loads. It is significantly stronger than the 12.7mm (R60) or 15.875mm (R61) profiles.

3. What is the easiest way to create neat 90-degree corner joints?

   • For non-welded joints, use specialised external or internal square tube corner brackets designed for the 19.05mm size. For the cleanest look, cut 45-degree mitres and secure with welding or internal joining pieces.
