A guide to specifying your tube component
As a leading manufacturer of specialist precision-drawn aluminium tubes, we understand that the success of your product depends on sourcing the parts.
We’re here to help guide you through the specification process to ensure that the tubes we provide meet your exact needs and exceed your performance expectations.
Design & specifications
We can work with you to define the exact dimensions, including diameter, wall thickness, and length, ensuring they align perfectly with your design. Our team can help you determine the necessary tolerances to ensure a perfect fit. Whether you need a drawn seamless or porthole-extruded and drawn tube, or a specific surface finish, we’ll help you pinpoint the ideal solution for your application.
Material properties
Selecting the correct aluminium alloy is essential for achieving the required performance, whether it’s strength, corrosion resistance, or heat tolerance. We can assist in choosing the appropriate aluminium grade. We’ll also ensure the mechanical properties such as tensile and yield strength are aligned with your product’s demands.
Application-specific guidance
Understanding your product’s operating environment is key. We can help assess factors such as exposure to extreme temperatures, chemicals, pressure, and suggest solutions to meet those challenges. If your application has weight constraints or load-bearing requirements, we’ll work with you to optimise the tube design for both performance and efficiency.
Manufacturing process
Our expertise in cold drawing allows us to recommend the best manufacturing process for your specific needs. If post-processing like CNC machining or forming is required, we’ll guide you through the necessary steps to ensure your product meets the highest tolerance demands, while maintaining cost-effectiveness.
Cost & lead time management
We’re here to help you balance cost and quality. Our team can provide cost estimates and assist you in selecting the best option based on your budget. We also take into account your production timeline, advising on minimum order quantities (MOQ) and lead times to ensure smooth, on-time delivery.
Compatibility with other components
Integrating your precision-drawn aluminium tube with other components is critical to overall product success. We’ll help you assess how the tube will be connected or fastened—whether through welding, adhesives, or mechanical means—so that it seamlessly fits into your assembly process.
Compliance & certification
Spartal is an ISO 9001 approved manufacturer and JOSCAR registered.
