DESCRIPTION

1.250″ od x .120″wall CREW Steel Round Tube

A “CREW tube” stands for “Cold Rolled Electric Welded” tube, which is a type of steel tubing manufactured by taking a cold-rolled steel strip, forming it into a tube shape, and then welding the seam together using electric resistance welding (ERW) at room temperature; this process results in a tube with tighter tolerances and a better surface finish compared to hot-rolled welded tubing (HREW).

 

Key points about CREW tubes:

Manufacturing process

Cold rolled steel strip is passed through rollers to form a tube, then the seam is welded using electric resistance welding.

Benefits

Improved surface finish, tighter dimensional tolerances, and higher strength compared to hot-rolled welded tubes.

Mechanical uses 

  • Furniture: CREW tubing is used in furniture, exercise equipment, and display racks
  • Greenhouses: CREW tubing is used in greenhouses because of its lightweight and cosmetically appealing surface

Structural uses

  • Mechanical tubing: CREW tubing is used in mechanical and light gauge structural applications
  • Frames, chassis, and safety cages: CREW tubing is used in frames, chassis, and safety cages

Industrial uses

  • Transportation of water, gasses, and liquid wastes

Steel tubing is used in industrial applications to transport water, gasses, and liquid wastes

  • Conveyor belts, hydraulic lifts, and mills

Steel tubing is a common component of industrial machines, used in conveyor belts, hydraulic lifts, and mills

* Prices subject to change without notice due to the Metals Market fluctuations.
* All ‘value length’ and ‘value pack’ item measurements are subject to a “mill tolerance”. A product may be produced several thousandths of an inch, either over or under the stated thickness, and still be within “mill tolerance”. This does NOT apply to Cut To Size items. Those will be +.125″, -0.00″ tolerances.
