Product Construction
The component is manufactured as a one-piece aluminum casting housing with a tapered cylindrical body and a reinforced base section. The hollow internal cavity transitions gradually from a smaller upper bore to a larger lower bore, ensuring balanced wall thickness and mechanical stability. At the bottom, four evenly distributed 1/4-18 NPT ports are integrated into a thickened section to provide secure threaded connections and reliable sealing under pressure. The overall geometry is controlled within a maximum 2° taper, supporting both structural strength and functional flow requirements.
Material & Casting Standards
Material: Aluminum 6061-T6
Casting certification: Approved
Casting standard: ESI-3
6061-T6 aluminum offers an excellent balance of strength, corrosion resistance, and machinability, making it a preferred material for industrial aluminum housing components used in pressure-bearing environments.
Surface Finish & Processing
Surface treatment: Sandblasted
Uniform industrial matte finish
Suitable for secondary machining or additional coatings
The sandblasted surface improves consistency and prepares the housing for further functional or protective treatments if required.
Pressure & Airtightness Testing
Each pressure tested aluminum housing undergoes air tightness inspection across a range of 0–500 PSI. This testing verifies the integrity of the casting structure and threaded interfaces, ensuring reliable performance in sealed air or fluid systems.
Typical Applications
Industrial air distribution systems
Fluid transfer or transition housings
Pressure-rated aluminum manifold bodies
Custom aluminum housing components for industrial equipment
