 Product Advantages of Square Tubes 

Square Tubes are commonly used for industrial purposes as it can provide numerous benefits. Industries value square tubing for its strength and ability to withstand extremes of temperature, pressure and destructive elements. While in domestic settings, square tubes are used in appliances, pipes, and fencing. Here are just a few of the many benefits and applications of square tubing.

 

Benefits of Square Tubing

1 Uniformity

Besides its mechanical properties, square tubing contains uniform wall thickness and concentricity.

 

2 Strength

Cold forming allows square tubing to have a higher yield and tensile strength than the steel from which it is made. This makes the material able to withstand extreme temperatures, pressures, and destructive elements.

 

3 Cost-Effectiveness

Square tubing undergoes less processing than other types of mechanical tubing, so it can provide cost advantages for less-demanding applications.

 

4 Wide Range in Sizes

Square tubing is available in an exceptionally broad range of OD and wall thickness dimensions. This makes it suitable for various applications and needs.

We stocks carbon steel square tubing in A513 (mechanical) and A500 (structural) grades, in a range of sizes and wall thicknesses. A500 structural carbon square tube is used in construction, buildings, towers, and sign support applications, but also in trailers and structural fabrications. A513 mechanical carbon steel square tube is frequently used in the automotive, solar, appliance, and agriculture industries, as well as in many other types of machinery ranging from bases to supports.  

All ODs below 2" with wall thickness less than 0.120 inch are typically manufactured as ASTM A-513. Sizes 2" and above with wall thickness of 0.120 inch and heavier are typically manufactured to ASTM A-500.
