Properties of Standard Scaffold Tubes

This document compares the properties of standard steel and aluminium scaffold tubes. It shows that aluminium tubes have a higher cross-sectional area and lower mass than steel tubes, while maintaining a similar outer diameter and wall thickness. The document also provides a table showing the relationship between the effective length, slenderness ratio, and safe axial load of the used tubes under compression.
