Is RMC always considered "Metallic"?
I believe EMT can be steel or aluminum, so this could be called "Metallic" or "Non-Metallic"?

RMC is Rigid Metal Conduit. EMT is Electrical Metallic Tubing. Aluminum and steel are both metals. Perhaps you're thinking of ferrous vs. nonferrous?

RMC can be steel or aluminum. (Always metal) Refer to Article 344.

EMT can also be steel or aluminum, however I can't say I have ever seen aluminum EMT. (Always metal) Refer to Article 358.
