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