DESCRIPTION
Aluminum has been proven to be the economical choice for a wide variety
of applications. Its cost effectiveness and lightweight characteristics
make it a popular grade of material in petroleum and petrochemical
industries. Aluminum also serves the food, beverage and drug industries.
A cubic inch of Aluminum weighs about one-tenth of a pound. Its color
is like that of silver. The "commercially" pure metal has a faintly
bluish tinge. Its atomic weight is 26.98 pure. Aluminum melts at a
temperature of 1220 deg.F. (or 660 deg.C). The ability of aluminum
to transmit heat rapidly and efficiently makes it an ideal material
for heat transfer processes, cryogenic applications and similar uses.
Its resistance to corrosion often results in longer service life and
reduced maintenance.
