3 5/8" Tubing | McMaster-Carr

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.

DOM (drawn over mandrel) welded tubes are stronger than ERW (electric resistance welded) tubes.

Heat treatable tubes can be surface hardened. Tubes that are stress relieved minimize warping during machining.

Clear Scratch- and UV-Resistant Cast Acrylic Tubes

Color: Clear
Temperature Range: 0° to 150° F
Tensile Strength: 10,000-11,250 psi (Good)
Impact Strength: 0.3-0.4 ft.-lbs./in. (Poor)
Hardness: Rockwell M94-M100 (Hard)
For Use Outdoors: Yes
Specifications Met: See table

Fabricate containers, tanks, and lenses for light fixtures with these scratch- and UV-resistant cast acrylic tubes. Cast acrylic, which is comparable to Lucite and Plexiglas® Acrylic, is easier to machine than extruded acrylic. This material stands up to outdoor use better than polycarbonate and maintains clarity over time.

Flexible Rubber Foam Pipe Insulation

Soft and easy to install, this insulation restricts absorption of water, air, and gas. It is often used on cold and hot water lines and refrigeration lines. Seal with contact adhesive (sold separately). To use outdoors, coat in acrylic paint.

Slit tubes have an adhesive strip closure.
