The Many Advantages of Aluminum
EMT, of course, is used to help route electrical wiring, and also to protect it from not only the elements, but also potentially damaging impacts. There are two main materials that comprise EMT – steel and aluminum. When you look at them head-to-head, however, you’ll quickly find there’s really no comparison. Aluminum wins each and every time. Here’s the proof.
- When a lot of people think of aluminum, the first thing that comes to mind is something they can easily crush with one hand, such as a can of soda. But our aluminum is just as strong as steel, thanks to the 6000 series alloys we use.
- You can save a lot of money by choosing aluminum over steel – not just from a materials standpoint, but also a labor standpoint. Even though our conduit is extremely strong, it’s also extremely light – about 30 percent lighter than steel, in fact. It’s not nearly as expensive to buy or ship, and it takes fewer workers to carry and install. Some of our customers have slashed labor costs by as much as 75 percent simply by switching to aluminum conduit.
- Durability is another area in which aluminum really stands out. You can use it in moist indoor environments, and you can also use it outside, regardless of how harsh the elements may become. The reason is that aluminum won’t corrode or rust, like steel.
- Aluminum will also help protect your sensitive electronics, because it blocks the radiation that comes from wiring. This radiation can sometimes cause interference that can render computers and other sophisticated equipment useless.
- Every company obviously makes safety its top priority. Using aluminum conduit can help support your workplace safety strategy. Steel can emit sparks, making it incredibly dangerous in volatile environments, such as a refinery or a mining operation. Aluminum doesn’t spark, so you can use it with total confidence.
