Mechanical and structural tube have a lot in common at first glance.
What makes steel tubing mechanical or structural? The difference between the two types of tubing shows most clearly in their properties and their applications. Here’s how manufacturers classify these two types of tubing based on their end use.
SHAPES
Both mechanical & structural tubing can be shaped as rounds, squares, and rectangles. Additionally, mechanical tubing can be found in a variety of other shapes).
MEASUREMENT
Both mechanical and structural tubing are measured by inside dimensions (I.D.), outside dimensions (O.D.), and gauge (wall thickness).
COMPOSITION
Both mechanical & structural tubing can be made of:
- Carbon steel
- Stainless steel
- Galvanized steel
- Other steel alloys
… as long as the material is strong enough to stand up to stressful structural use.
TOLERANCE & SPECIFICATIONS
FABRICATION
Both mechanical & structural tubing can be fabricated after production. This can include cutting, drilling, punching, bending, stamping, welding, and other secondary services.
APPLICATIONS
The main difference between mechanical and structural tubular steel products is how they’re used.
Mechanical tubing is used in a variety of applications that require specific measurements, as well as in very low-stress structural applications.
Mechanical tubing is most often used in machinery and tools for all industries, from automotive to agriculture. Other common uses for mechanical tubing include:
- Solar Panel Supports
- Conveyor Belt Components
- Industrial Machinery
- Playground Equipment
- Greenhouse Structures
- Restaurant, Kitchen, & Food Service Parts
- Hospital Beds & Medical Equipment
- Canopies and Other Recreational Stands
- Home & Garden Tools
Structural tubing is used in more high-stress, long-term, corrosive structural applications, such as:
- Infrastructure (Roads, Bridges, Buildings)
- Construction & Construction Equipment
- Sign Supports
- Drilling & Underwater Platforms
- Roll Cages
