SQUARE TUBING OVERVIEW
WHAT IS SQUARE TUBING?
Square tubing features a uniform, square-shaped
cross-section, offering stability and resistance
to bending. Material Options Aluminum square
tubing Lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and
ideal for applications requiring
flexibility. 3-inch steel tubing Heavy-duty,
durable, and perfect for structural projects.

Round Tubing Overview
WHAT IS ROUND TUBING?
Round tubing has a circular cross-section,
offering aerodynamic properties and rotational
strength. Key Advantages Better for torsional
(twisting) applications. Ideal for projects
requiring smooth flow, like pipelines and
railings. Material Variants Steel, aluminum, and
galvanized tubing. Used in industries such as
automotive, furniture, and outdoor equipment.

STRENGTH COMPARISON
Load Distribution Square tubing handles static
loads more effectively due to its flat sides.
Round tubing excels in managing torsional loads
due to its shape. Structural Strength For
uniform applications like aluminum square tubing,
square tubing often resists deformation
better. For dynamic applications, round tubing
performs better under rotational
stress. Material Influence 3-inch steel tubing
provides unparalleled strength in either form.
