2″ x 2″ x 1/16″ Sidwall Thickness | Various Lengths | 12″, 24″, 36″, 48″, 60″, 72″, 84″ & 96″ Long | Mild Steel Square Tube, Hot Rolled Steel (72)

Description

Product Overview

ON POINT FABRICATIONS presents a precision‑engineered 2″ x 2″ x 1/16″ square tube crafted from hot‑rolled alloy steel. The tube’s nominal wall thickness of 1/16 inch and a robust outside diameter of 2 inches create a strong, load‑bearing profile that meets demanding industrial standards. With a maximum pressure tolerance of 46,000 psi, this tube is suitable for high‑stress environments where reliability is non‑negotiable. The material composition—mild steel with a carefully controlled alloy blend—delivers excellent corrosion resistance while maintaining the machinability required for custom fabrication. Each length, ranging from 12″ to 96″, is cut to exact specifications, ensuring a seamless fit for a wide array of projects. The product’s silver finish not only reflects its high‑quality steel but also provides a neutral aesthetic that integrates smoothly with any design language.

Usage

This square tube excels in multiple sectors. In furniture fabrication, its clean lines and sturdy construction support table legs, shelving units, and ergonomic workstations. For outdoor recreational structures—such as pergolas, garden trellises, and modular play equipment—the tube’s weather‑resistant alloy steel endures exposure to sun, rain, and fluctuating temperatures without compromising structural integrity. The tube also serves as a reliable backbone for structural frames in industrial machinery, tool and equipment racks, and custom railings or guardrails that demand both safety and aesthetic appeal. Its dimensions make it a favorite among DIY enthusiasts and professional fabricators alike, offering a balance of strength, ease of handling, and adaptability for both indoor and outdoor applications.

FAQ

What is the recommended welding method for this square tube?

We recommend using MIG or TIG welding with appropriate filler material for mild steel. Pre‑heat the joint to reduce thermal stress, and ensure proper ventilation during welding to achieve a clean, strong bond.

Can this tube be used for outdoor applications without additional coating?

Yes, the hot‑rolled alloy steel offers good corrosion resistance, but for extended exposure to harsh environments, applying a protective powder‑coat or galvanizing layer will further extend the tube’s service life.

How do I calculate the load capacity for a specific length?

Load capacity depends on factors such as length, support conditions, and applied forces. Use the formula for Euler buckling or consult our engineering guide, which provides tables for various span lengths and loading scenarios.

Is the tube compatible with standard machining tools?

Absolutely. The tube’s mild steel composition allows it to be cut, drilled, and machined with standard hand and CNC tools without excessive wear on the equipment.

What is the lead time for orders of multiple lengths?

Standard inventory items ship within 2‑3 business days. For custom lengths or bulk orders, our production team typically requires 5‑7 business days, and we keep you informed throughout the process.
