Smooth-Bore Seamless Stainless Steel Tubing
Seamless construction with no weld bead gives this tubing an interior with unrestricted flow. It is stronger than welded tubing and can be flared without splitting.
304 stainless steel has very good corrosion resistance.
316 stainless steel offers excellent corrosion resistance.
Tubing that meets ASTM specifications adheres to international standards for dimensions and materials.

- Temperature Range:
304 Stainless Steel: -425° to 1500° F
316 Stainless Steel: -325° to 1500° F - Bending Method: Tube Bender
- For Use With: Natural Gas, Water, Oil, Air
- Compatible Tubing Fittings: Butt Weld, Compression, Flared, and Yor-Lok
Welded Stainless Steel Tubing
When your application does not require a smooth interior, this tubing is an economical choice. It has a weld bead on the inside.
304 stainless steel has very good corrosion resistance.
- Temperature Range: 304 Stainless Steel: -420° to 1500° F
316 Stainless Steel: -320° to 1500° F - Bending Method: Tube Bender
- Compatible Tube Fittings: See table
General Purpose Aluminum Tubing
- Temperature Range: -450° to 400° F
- Bending Method: Tube Bender
- Compatible Tube Fittings: Flared
This tubing is lightweight with good corrosion resistance and weldability. It has magnesium and silicon added for strength. Tubing is seamless, which provides a smooth interior for unrestricted flow. It can be flared without splitting.
Smooth-Bore Seamless Steel Tubing
Seamless construction with no weld bead gives this tubing a smooth interior for unrestricted flow. It is stronger than welded tubing and can be flared without splitting. Do not use in corrosive environments.
- Temperature Range: See Table
- Bending Method: Tube Bender
- For Use With: Hydraulic Fluid, Natural Gas
- Compatible Tubing Fittings: Compression and Flared
Corrosion-Resistant Steel Tubing
- Temperature Range: -20° to 800° F
- Bending Method: Tube Bender
- Compatible Tube Fittings: Compression and Flared
A thin layer of zinc yellow-chromate gives this tubing extra corrosion resistance, making it an economical alternative to stainless steel. Tubing is seamless, which provides a smooth interior for unrestricted flow. It is stronger than welded tubing and can be flared without splitting.

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.
Easy-to-Weld 4130 Alloy Steel Round Tubes
- Yield Strength: See table
- Hardness: See table
- Heat Treatable: Yes
- Max. Hardness After Heat Treatment: See table
- Fabrication: Seamless
- Specifications Met: See table
Also known as chrome-moly steel, these 4130 alloy steel round tubes have low carbon content for good weldability. They’re often used for roll cages and frames. To increase their wear resistance, you can harden them with heat treating. These tubes have been manufactured to SAE and military standards for quality and performance.

Multipurpose 304 Stainless Steel
From cookware to chemical-processing equipment, 304 stainless steel is a good all-around choice for a wide range of applications. It maintains its corrosion resistance in temperatures up to 1500° F.
304/304L stainless steel contains less carbon than standard 304 for better weldability.
Welded round tubes are more economical than seamless tubes.
Seamless round tubes are more corrosion resistant than welded tubes because they don’t have a seam that could potentially introduce impurities.

High-Strength 2024 Aluminum Tubes
- Yield Strength: 42,000 psi
- Hardness: Brinell 120 (Medium)
- Temper: T3
- Fabrication: Cold Drawn
- Specifications Met: ASTM B210
While 2024 aluminum was initially designed for structural components in aircraft, it's now widely used when a high strength-to-weight ratio is needed, such as for gears, shafts, and fasteners. It offers similar performance to 7075 aluminum, but it’s not as strong.
