What are Tubes?

A tube/tubing is similar to that of a pipe and is also used to convey liquids and gasses. But a tube can also be used to protect electrical and optical cables. A tube is literally specified by its inner and outer diameter. Tubes are manufactured in three types seamless, electrically welded and drawn-over-mandrel. Pipes and Tube are generally interchangeable terms but they have defined specific purposes different from one another.

 

 

Procedures of tube production: -

• Seamless tubing is made via extrusion and rotary piercing

• An electrical-resistance-welding tube is cold worked and drawn through a die and over a mandrel

 

Tube production standards: -

Tube manufacturing is governed under different standards applicable for different types of tubes: -

• ASTM A213 For Seamless Ferritic and Austenitic alloy tubes for high temperature applications

• ASTM A269 Seamless and Welded Tubes for general applications

• ASTM A511 for Seamless Stainless Steel for mechanical applications

• ASTM A270 for Seamless and Welded tubes for sanitary applications

• ASTM A513 for Electrical-Resistance-Welded Carbon and Alloy Steel tubes for mechanical applications

• ASTM A554 For welded Stainless Steel tubes for mechanical applications

 

Applications: -

Tubes can be used in a variety of applications ranging from basic home applications to exotic applications as well. Mostly used in: -

• Oil & Gas Industries

• Heat Exchangers

• Paper & Pulp Industries

• Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Industries

• Chemical Processing Industries

• Water Treatment Industries

• Sugar & Food Processing industries

• Fertilizer Industries

• Power Plants

 

Tubes FAQ

 

How Steel Tubes Are Made?

Steel tubes are typically made through a process of extrusion, welding, or drawing.

 

Where to buy Metal Tubing?

Metal tubing can be purchased from many online and physical retailers.

 

How much does Steel Tube Weigh?

The weight of steel tube depends on its size and thickness.

 

How to Bend Metal Tubing?

Metal tubing can be bent by using a heat based method such as induction bending, or a cold-forming technique such as rotary draw bending.

 

Are Metal Tubes Recyclable?

Most metal tubes are recyclable, depending on the material and shape of the tube.
