EN 755-2
Aluminium and aluminium alloys — Extruded rod/bar, tube and profiles — Part 2: Mechanical properties
Minimum Rm, Rp0.2 and elongation by alloy, temper, product form and wall thickness. If a section has walls in several bands, the lowest value applies unless the extruder certifies otherwise.
Revised in 2008, 2016 and 2025; some thickness bands changed between editions.
