steel tubes

Hollow iron alloy

Steel tubes are hollow cylindrical sections made of steel, used in construction, plumbing, machinery, and countless industrial applications.

The term covers everything from thin-walled tubing for furniture frames to heavy-gauge pipes for oil drilling.

Steel tubes may be welded from flat stock or drawn seamlessly from solid billets, with the manufacturing method affecting strength and cost.
