Material: Typically made from carbon steel or alloy steel, which provides strength, durability, and resistance to wear and tear.
Shapes: Available in various shapes, including round, square, rectangular, and oval, to suit different applications.
Sizes: Comes in a wide range of sizes and wall thicknesses, allowing for customization based on the specific needs of the application.
Surface Finish: Can have different surface finishes, such as hot-rolled, cold-rolled, or galvanized, depending on the intended use and environmental conditions.
Tolerances: Manufactured to precise dimensional tolerances to ensure proper fit and function in mechanical systems.
Seamless Tubing: Made without a welded seam, offering superior strength and uniformity. Ideal for high-pressure applications.
Welded Tubing: Created by welding the edges of a steel strip or plate. Generally more cost-effective and suitable for lower-pressure applications.
ERW (Electric Resistance Welded) Tubing: Produced by rolling steel and welding it longitudinally across its length. Commonly used in structural applications.
DOM (Drawn Over Mandrel) Tubing: A type of welded tubing that has been cold-drawn to improve dimensional accuracy and surface finish. Often used in precision applications.
Structural Components: Used in the construction of buildings, bridges, and other structures where strength and durability are required.
Machinery Parts: Utilized in the manufacturing of machinery and equipment, such as frames, supports, and hydraulic systems.
Automotive Industry: Employed in the production of vehicle frames, roll cages, and other components that require high strength and rigidity.
Conveyor Systems: Used in the construction of conveyor belts and other material handling systems.
Agricultural Equipment: Found in the manufacture of farm machinery and equipment, where durability and resistance to harsh conditions are essential.
