About Metal Tubing

Low-Carbon Steel Rectangular Tubes
Also known as mild steel, low-carbon steel is easy to machine, form, and weld. These tubes are often fabricated into parts that don’t require high strength, such as frames, supports, and raceways. To increase their wear resistance, you can surface harden them with heat treating. These tubes are manufactured to ASTM or EN standards for quality and performance.

Low-Carbon Steel Round Tubes
Also known as mild steel, low-carbon steel is easy to machine, form, and weld. It's widely fabricated into parts that don’t require high strength, such as frames, supports, and conduit. This steel is manufactured to ASTM, SAE, or EN standards for quality and performance.

Welded Steel Tubing
- Temperature Range: -65° to 800° F
- Bending Method: Tube Bender
A strong, high-pressure alternative to seamless tubing, this tubing is also known as DOM (drawn over mandrel). It is welded with a smoothed weld bead on the inside to reduce particle buildup. Tubing connects by welding. Do not use in corrosive environments.
