The difference between heavy aluminum profiles and light aluminum profiles?

December 14,2022.

People who are in contact with aluminum profiles will know that aluminum profiles can be divided into heavy-duty aluminum profiles and light-weight aluminum profiles. So what is the difference between heavy and light aluminum profiles? Here are a few aspects to give you a comparison. After reading it, you will no longer have such doubts. The heavy and light aluminum profiles are actually the difference in the meter weight of the aluminum profile, and the weight per meter determines the weight of the aluminum profile, because the length of the aluminum profile is the same. Therefore, the heavier the aluminum profile, the heavier the aluminum profile.

One: In terms of size. Regardless of the wall thickness or the thickness of the inclined diameter, the heavy-duty aluminum profile is larger than the light-weight aluminum profile.
Two: in the scope of use. Lightweight aluminum profiles are suitable for light structures or frame composite structures with low stress and strength. Such as whiteboard racks, workbenches, etc. Heavy-duty aluminum profiles are suitable for frame combinations of heavy-duty structures with high stress, high lightness, and high support requirements. Such as equipment protective cover, large photovoltaic support, etc.
Three: on load-bearing. Heavy-duty aluminum profiles bear more weight than light-weight aluminum profiles. It can be seen from the scope of use above. The ones with heavy loads should naturally be used in frame combinations with high stress.
Four: on the price. Heavy aluminum profiles are more expensive than light aluminum profiles. If the load is heavy, it means that the rice is more important, and more raw materials are used per meter, so the price will naturally be higher.
Five: On the aluminum profile accessories used. The aluminum profile accessories used for heavy-duty aluminum profiles are larger in size and higher in price than those used in light-weight aluminum profiles. For example, 2020 aluminum profiles use M5 T-bolts, while 6060 aluminum profiles use M6 T-bolts.
