If it's a non pressure app, try PG Body Builders as they supply & fit 6 & 7 inch ally tube for our intake stacks for Freightliners & Benz trucks.

Many LPG gas bottles are now Ally, however, they are very thick. I would not recommend using this 200mm x 3mm tube as a pressure vessel, if that is what you are doing. You will soften the metal at the weld point, and cause cracks as it age hardens, thus resulting in ally shrapnel.Quote:

Thanks guys. Not really a pressure vessel. It is a sealed vessel, but it won't see more than atm +/- about 1psi.

1 psi? have you considered using 90mm high pressure water pipe with glued end caps??
people make spud guns etc out of this stuff and it can handle much more than 1 psi very reliably... I guess if it is for a commercial application, it may not be that flash...
alternatively, visit a truck wrecker and buy some air brake tanks from a light truck of some kind - dimentionally might not be a perfect fit, but I'm sure there are some around of similar dimentions....
It needs to look good, and need to be reasonably light, hence the ally. I would probably get it anodised once the flanges have been welded on.Quote:
