Aluminum perforated tube is extensively used as screens, filters, shields and guards of engineering, construction and material handling industries. It is especially suitable for low-temperature applications when its strength increases and ductility retains. However, when its working temperature reach 400 °F, aluminum tube tends to lose some strength.

One advantage of using aluminum perforated pipe depends on its ideal corrosion resistance and strength-to-weight ratio. For some applications, weight should be kept in a low level to ensure smooth operation. Under this condition, aluminum tubing is the best choice. It not only provides enough strength but weight less than other metals like stainless steel or mild steel.
