[Dennis] "From day one, we used an aluminum 2" OD THICK WALL ALUMINUM CONDUIT
Mast."
I was curious about aluminum conduit. A quick search says that modern aluminum
conduit is 6063 temper T-1
(our typical 6061 use is T6)
Wikipedia says ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6063_aluminium_alloy )6063 T-1
has a yield strength of only 9kpsi
Regardless of the wall thickness, I would think the low yield strength would
make many other options better for equivalent weight.
also, conduit is specified as I.D. was this 1.5" I.D. -> 1.9" O.D. conduit? or
2" I.D. -> 2.375" O.D. ?
