36mm steel tube

Steel tubing has become an essential component of many constructions and projects, thanks to its strength, affordability, and malleable form. This hollow cylindrical material is not only used in the likes of cars and bikes, but can be easily manipulated into any shape and size to form structural foundations or as a pipeline for liquids. In short, steel tubing is the go-to material for when a robust yet slender solution is required.

Steel tubing comes in two predominant varieties – welded and seamless. Welded pipelines are manufactured by combining steel plates or strips, generally through a welding process. On the other hand, seamless models are crafted when a steel billet is strained through a die, which outlines the form of the tubing.

Cost-effectiveness is something that makes welded tubing attractive, but it’s not the strongest option out there. Spending a bit more money to invest in seamless tubing provides a much higher level of durability and reduces the possibility of leakage in heavy-duty tasks.

From small sizes of 1/8 inch (0.32 cm) to large sizes of 4 inches (10.16 cm), steel tubing can take on many forms. Typically constructed from low-carbon steel, it can also be made from stainless steel, aluminum, and a variety of other metals. The most well-known size is often said to be 1/2 inch (1.27 cm), but the possibilities are limitless!

Automobiles, bicycles, construction projects, furniture assemblages, machinery components, recreational tools, and storage solutions; these are just some of the applications for steel tubing. This widely-used metal encompasses car and truck frames, exhaust pipes, roll cages for bikes, scaffolding, piping for construction sites, chairs and tables for homes, hydraulic cylinders for machines, backyard play structures, trampolines, garage racks and shelving. Steel tubing is an essential component of everyday life.

Inexpensive and easily malleable, steel tubing can take on many different forms for many different applications. Incredibly durable and exceptionally strong, with the option to be welded or seamless for supportive rigidity, it is perfect for construction projects, crafting furniture or for recreational activities.
