[TowerTalk] 6061-T6511 Structural Tubing Weight

[KI7WX at aol.com]

The 24 foot length of 2" OD x 0.25" wall plus one cardboard shipping tube 
weighed in at 45 pounds for shipping. The carton is probably 4-5 pounds as it is 
stout.

Since this is a structural tube (6061 with T6 hardening) the material also 
came with a Certificate of Conformance. E.G. it was tested by the manufacturer 
(Alcoa). The particular lot for the tube I have had Tensile strength of 44.4 
KSI and Yield of 40.2 KSI. 

To be clear, I am not suggesting aluminum tube for use as masting. Just 
providing some information as the question was asked.
