FAQ

What is the maximum load this tube can support?

The tube is rated for a maximum pressure of 46,000 psi, which translates to a substantial load‑bearing capacity for most structural and equipment frame applications. Exact load limits depend on the specific installation geometry and safety factors applied by the engineer.

Can the tube be welded without additional preparation?

Yes, the hot‑rolled alloy steel surface is prepared for welding out of the box. For best results, clean any oil or debris before welding, and use appropriate filler material compatible with alloy steel.

Is the tube suitable for outdoor use?

Absolutely. The silver‑colored finish provides a level of corrosion resistance suitable for outdoor structures, though additional protective coatings can be applied for extreme environments.

What cutting methods are recommended?

Standard metal‑cutting tools such as a bandsaw, chop saw, or abrasive cutoff wheel work well. For precise cuts, a CNC plasma cutter can be used, ensuring the tube retains its dimensional integrity.

Do you offer custom lengths or sizes?

ON POINT FABRICATIONS can accommodate custom length orders and, in many cases, alternative wall thicknesses or diameters. Contact our sales team with your specifications to discuss availability and pricing.
