Hydro extrudes more than 500 million pounds of high-grade aluminum every year, and has more than 30,000 customers around the world. As a result, we have a nearly endless supply of aluminum conduit. In fact, we will have at least a million pounds on hand at any time of the day or night. You’ll never have to deal with the stress and frustration of downtime because your supplier ran out of conduit.
What Makes Aluminum So Great?
If you think steel is the only material you’ll ever want to use for your conduit needs, we urge you to think again. You’ll find aluminum in a wide range of applications, for a lot of reasons we’ll detail later. It’s lightweight, non-magnetic, and you can use it in just about any sort of demanding environment. Whether you’re environment is filled with corrosive chemicals, water, or it has volatile compounds, you can use aluminum all the time, every time.
These are just some of the applications where aluminum conduit is commonly used.
- Textile manufacturing
- Paper and pulp mills
- Power plants
- Telecommunications installations
- Food and beverage operations
- Wastewater treatment facilities
- Coal mining operations
- Corrosive, as well as explosive environments
Why Change to Aluminum from Steel?
If you make the change from steel to aluminum, you’ll not only see significant cost savings, you’ll also enjoy increased performance. You might be wondering how we could make this kind of claim. When you see all of the advantages, you’ll quickly realize why this is the case.
Aluminum is about one-third the weight of steel. As a result, it’s not only less expensive to buy, it’s also less expensive to ship. In fact, we’ve routinely heard from customers that they will typically save anywhere from 40-60 percent per pound. You can cover a lot more distance with the same amount of aluminum conduit as you can with steel conduit.
The savings don’t stop with materials, however. You’ll also see increased efficiency, which will translate to labor savings. The average conduit installation will typically involve 10-foot sections. This length of steel conduit would weigh about 100 pounds. A 10-foot length of aluminum conduit, on the other hand, will only weigh about 34 pounds.
It doesn’t take a math genius to figure out why this is important. Instead of having to devote two or even three workers to an installation, you’ll now only need one. You can devote those other workers to other jobs.
While saving money is obviously important, there are other reasons to turn to Aluminum Conduit, one of the leading aluminum & EMT suppliers in Arkansas. Learn more by contacting us online or calling 1 (800) 334.6825.
