Why It’s Important Your Conduit Resists Corrosion
There are a lot of great reasons to make the switch from steel to aluminum conduit. Aluminum’s ability to resist corrosion is right at the top. These are just a few of the reasons this is so important.
- Safety – Corrosion-resistant conduit can prevent electrical failure and potential fire hazards caused by rust and corrosion.
- Longevity – Corrosion-resistant conduit has a longer lifespan, reducing the need for frequent replacements and maintenance.
- Cost-effective – It’s also a cost-effective option as it reduces the need for frequent replacements and maintenance.
- Reliability – Conduit that resists corrosion is more reliable and can ensure a continuous power supply and minimize power outages.
- Environments – Corrosion-resistant conduit is ideal for use in harsh environments such as coastal areas, industrial areas, and underground installations where the conduit is exposed to moisture and chemicals.
- Easy to install – Corrosion-resistant conduit is easy to install and can be done with minimal maintenance.
- Aesthetics – When conduit doesn’t corrode, it always looks visually appealing. It can be used in environments where appearance is important as a result.
- Energy efficiency – Conduit resistant to corrosion can help increase energy efficiency by reducing the resistance to electricity flow caused by rust and corrosion.
- Compliance – Corrosion-resistant conduit can help to comply with safety regulations and codes, particularly in the electrical, construction, and transportation industries.
- Durability – It’s also durable and can withstand harsh weather conditions, making it suitable for outdoor and underground installations.
Eight Reasons Aluminum Conduit is Safer than Steel
You’re likely always looking at ways to make your operation even safer. Changing to aluminum can increase safety in ways you might not have previously considered.
- Non-magnetic properties – Aluminum conduit does not interfere with electronic equipment, making it safer for use in environments with sensitive electronic equipment.
- Lightweight – Since it’s much lighter than steel, aluminum conduit makes it easier to handle and install, reducing the risk of injury to workers.
- Non-sparking – Aluminum conduit is non-sparking, making it a safer choice for use in environments where flammable materials are present.
- Non-toxic – Unlike steel, our conduit doesn’t release toxic fumes, making it safer for use in enclosed spaces.
- Easy to cut – Aluminum conduit is easy to cut and work with. This makes it safer for workers because they won’t be injured due to sharp edges and burrs.
- Easy to bend – You’ll also find that aluminum conduit is extremely easy to bend, making it safer for workers as it reduces the chances of a worker being hurt due to manual bending.
- High strength-to-weight ratio – Aluminum conduit has a high strength-to-weight ratio, so you won’t have to worry about your workers suffering muscle strains due to heavy lifting.
- Recyclable – Finally, conduit from American Conduit is recyclable, making it a safer choice for the environment.
