Abstract
An extruded aluminum conduit comprising a substantially cylindrical body including defining a conduit interior. The body may include an exterior surface defined by an outer diameter and an interior surface defined by an inner diameter. The conduit may include one or more protrusions protruding from the interior surface of the body toward the conduit interior and away from the exterior surface. The one or more protrusions may run substantially continuously from a first end of the body to a second end of the body.
Claims20
An extruded aluminum conduit comprising:
- a substantially cylindrical body defining a conduit interior, the cylindrical body including an exterior surface defined by an outer diameter and an interior surface;
- and
- a plurality of protrusions formed on the interior surface, each protrusion extending toward the conduit interior and away from the exterior surface and having a protrusion radius of curvature that is convex with respect to the conduit interior;
- and
- a plurality of depressions formed into the interior surface, each depression being disposed between two adjacent protrusions of the plurality of protrusions and having a depression radius of curvature that is concave with respect to the conduit interior,
- wherein the plurality of protrusions and plurality of depressions each run substantially continuously from a first end of the cylindrical body to a second end of the cylindrical body,
- wherein each protrusion has substantially the same protrusion radius of curvature and each depression has substantially the same depression radius of curvature, and
- wherein the depression radius of curvature is at least double the protrusion radius of curvature.
