As-Welded Mechanical, Tubing is probably the most popular and versatile tubular product. It is ideally suited to applications where concentricity and uniformity of wall thickness are important.

A513 Type 1 Mechanical ERW Tube

Characteristics

ASTM A513 Type 1 tube is produced from low carbon steel. Typically available in hot rolled black, hot rolled, P&O. Tubing with walls heavier than 18ga is produced from hot rolled steel. A513 Type 1 is produced to closer dimensional tolerances than A500 and chemistries that allow for bending.

Applications

A513 type 1 tube is used for furniture, storage racks, machine components, fences and more.
