Aluminum Tube End Caps: 4 Critical Fit Checks

Aluminum tube end caps need a fit review based on the actual tube section and the selected cap or plug.

Protective Film for Aluminum: 5 Critical Order Fields

Protective film for aluminum should be specified by its product identity, the surface it touches and the conditions in which it remains attached. “PE film included” is not a complete requirement.
