steel tube

Hollow iron alloy

A steel tube is a hollow cylinder made of steel, used in construction, plumbing, machinery, and countless industrial applications.

Tubes are measured by outer diameter and wall thickness.

The term overlaps with steel pipe, though in technical contexts, tubes are held to tighter dimensional tolerances: The frame is welded from steel tubing.
