Drawoh,
Thanks again for your replies, I understand your concerns regarding my questions.
But what I have is a system that has been in operation for many years and has been passed as safe to operate with a swl of 1350kg.
This original system used rectangular aluminium box section.
All I wanted...
Thanks for the replies,
Tube was selected as a replacement for square section aluminium which was used originally in a fixed position.The new load bar moves so the tube is better suited than the original square section.
The tube is used to retain barrels so the load could cause bending then...
Looking for some assistance please.
I want to use an aluminium tube to retain a load, and need to find out what load it can hold before collapsing.
Tube is 63.5mm O/D 51.5 I/D and 2112mm in length
Tube is B.S H30-TF Grade
Shear Strength 218
Modular Elasticity 69
Tensile Strength Min 280 MPa...
