In 2015, a 3-meter aluminum alloy extruded light pole designed for use near the Oman Sea would typically have specific features to withstand the coastal environment. Here’s a breakdown of its likely characteristics:
Key Features:
- Material:
– Made from marine-grade aluminum alloy (e.g., 6063-T6 or 6061-T6) for corrosion resistance.
– Extruded (not welded) for seamless construction, reducing weak points.
- Height & Design:
– 3 meters tall, likely used for pathway, garden, or low-height area lighting.
– Slender, aerodynamic design to resist wind loads common in coastal regions.
- Corrosion Protection:
– Anodized or powder-coated finish to prevent saltwater corrosion (critical near the Oman Sea).
– Possible additional protective layers (e.g., anti-oxidation coatings).
- Base & Mounting:
– Flange base or direct burial design for stability.
– May include stainless steel bolts to avoid rust.
- Electrical Components:
– IP65 or higher rating for waterproofing (since coastal areas have high humidity).
– Compatible with LED fixtures for energy efficiency.
Why Aluminum Alloy Near the Oman Sea?
– Saltwater resistance (unlike steel, which rusts easily).
– Lightweight yet durable for easy installation.
– Low maintenance compared to other metals.
Possible Applications:
– Marina lighting
– Beachfront pathways
– Park or street lighting in coastal cities
