Not so much. It's pretty brittle metal - akin to white metal actually. That is nuts. EMT, electrical metallic tubing, is steel. It is far from brittle, you can bend it any way you want. What is properly called conduit is plain old pipe, the kind that carries water and gas.. Sorry dude - EMT is thin walled flat cold rolled low grade non-hardened steel. It's basically white metal. White metals contain things like lead, tin, antimony, zinc. No iron, no carbon. It is mild steel, like about 95% of the steel in use. As in autos, buildings, bridges, ships. You want to be different and call steel white metal, you have a problem. It about as brittle as bubble gum. Casady Apparently you weren't told that SW Tom knows more about science and technology than any living human being, and when you argue with him, he goes into "wookie mode." If you want a giggle, ask him to tell you about the gph estimates he has for his Ranger with the etec. They defy all known laws of thermodynamics. -- Exactly which "laws of thermodynamics" does Tom's GPH claims defy? |
