Round steel tubing can withstand far higher weight-per-feet than square or rectangular tubing. This increased weight-bearing
capacity is because a circle is a stronger shape than a square, Because there are no corners, there are fewer pressure points
to qive way when excess load is applied.
Holds up to 8,000 Pounds.
The average production time of coll is two minutes and the cooling time is about three days. Long cooling time requires large
storage area. Other processes after hot rolling are pickling, coating and cutting.
Regardless of its material, steel tube is measured by its actual outside diameter (OD). For instance, the diameter of a 1 ¼" tube
is a true 1.25", while a 1 ¼" pipe is 1.625". The wall thickness of thinner tubing is measured by gauge while thicker tubing is
measured in fractions or millimeters.
They're used as materials for roofing sheets. building panels, pipes, walls, reinforcing bars (rebars), and structural components
like beams. columns, and trusses, For roofing sheets, walls, and building panels, the steel coils are unrolled and flattened into
sheets before being cut into the desired size and shape.
