Aluminum SMB tube sections

Aluminum SMB tube sections

(OP)
Can anyone point me to where I can get design properties for aluminum SMB tube sections (section modulus, etc)?  These are the lightweight sections used with screen enclosures.

RE: Aluminum SMB tube sections

If the Aluminum Association does not have them in their Design Manual, and the manufacturere does not provide them then you'll just have to calculate them yourself.  Not too hard, really, if you know how.

RE: Aluminum SMB tube sections

FSS....ADM2000 gives a lot of sections, but you might need to get the die drawings from the extruder and compute the section properties.
