Round Structural Tubing
Industrial Tube & Steel Corporation stocks carbon steel round tubing in A513 (mechanical) and A500 (structural) grades, in a range of sizes and wall thicknesses. A500 structural carbon round tube is used in construction, buildings, towers, and sign support applications, but also in trailers and structural fabrications. A513 mechanical carbon steel round tube is frequently used in the transportation, 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 .120 inch are typically manufactured as ASTM A-513. Sizes 2" and above with wall thickness of .120 inch and heavier are typically manufactured to ASTM A-500.

Benefits of ROUND STRUCTURAL TUBING
STRENGTH AND DURABILITY
Round tubing, as opposed to rectangular tubing, has a single continuous surface with no edges. When under stress, pressure is distributed equally. This decreases the possibility of unwelcome bends, breaks, and crimping.
Cost-Effectiveness
Round Structural Steel Tubing can be made thinner and transport higher volumes than other materials of the same size due to its strength. As a result, it is a less expensive material than other tubing possibilities. It can be bent, cut, and machined to suit a wide range of uses.
Stability
Round Structural Steel Tubing is extremely long-lasting. It can tolerate harsh environments. Steel, as a complex metal composed of iron and carbon, is extremely resistant to most elements, making it perfect for a wide range of industries
Ease of Fabrication
Round structural steel tubing can be cut, welded, bent, drilled, and molded into a wide range of shapes, allowing it to be smoothly integrated into complex structures. Fabrication efficiency saves time and money throughout the construction or manufacturing process.
Recyclability
Steel is completely recyclable, which means it can be recycled into the same material of the same grade over and over. Allowing for an environmentally sustainable strategy.
