Alfiniti draws seamless aluminum tube to ASTM B210 on 13 draw benches across Winton, North Carolina and Chicoutimi, Quebec, then cuts, forms, machines and finishes it in house.
Tube to this specification is produced by drawing an extruded tube made from seamless hollow extruded tube, pierced and extruded by the die and mandrel method. All standard aluminum tube alloys and tempers are covered.
Alloy and temper designations are in compliance with the latest version of ANSI H35.1.
Tolerances for the tubes we supply are shown in the tolerance tables and are in compliance with the latest revision of ANSI H35.2 and Aluminum Standards and Data.

Where to Get the Full Standards
- A complete copy of this specification may be purchased at www.ASTM.org
- A copy of ANSI H35.1 and H35.2 is available from the American National Standards Institute at www.ansi.org
- A copy of the Aluminum Standards and Data is available from the Aluminum Association at www.aluminum.org
Why it matters:
ASTM B210 is the line on a purchase order that fixes composition and mechanical properties for drawn seamless aluminum tube. Calling it out with an alloy, temper and wall settles what the tube is made of and what it has to hold, without a separate agreement.
Temper drives the trade off. In 6061, O temper tops out at 22.0 ksi tensile and forms easily, while T6 and T62 carry 42.0 ksi minimum tensile and 35.0 ksi minimum yield with elongation down to 10 percent in thin wall. In 3003, H18 reaches 27.0 ksi tensile against 14.0 ksi for O temper.
Elongation is reported two ways, full section and cut out, because specimen type changes the result. Match the column to the test method your print calls for.
Alfiniti can help:
Tell us the alloy, temper, wall and OD you need. We draw the tube, hold the specification, and take it through cutting, forming, machining, joining and finishing in house, so one source covers material and secondary operations.
