Yea I knew the T6 6061 was heat treated. HAZ is most often the weak link in heat treated material and 2 1/4, 5 & 9 chrome metals if not heat treated/stress relived after welding. But then again a hand pole isnt holding 10,000 PSI.

Well it could be seeing 10,000psi, it all depends on load vs geometry/material thicknesses. Make the pole thinner and the stress in the material is going to go up considerably...

No it cant, i was talking about holding PSIG as in a vessel or storage tank. Im sure you would have to get a code stamp.
I believe your talking shear strength.

Yea I was thinking internal stresses; I don't think anyone is using their pole as a pressure vessel.

Well, occasionally I do. Often in the morning...
