Frequently Asked Questions
What grades of stainless steel are available for rectangular tube?
Rectangular stainless steel tube is available in grades 201, 304, 304L, 316, 316L, and 321. Grade 304 is the most economical choice; grade 316L is recommended for marine, chemical, food-contact, or coastal outdoor environments.
What sizes does TeCarve offer for rectangular stainless steel tube?
Rectangular tubes are available with width from 10 mm to 200 mm, height from 10 mm to 100 mm, and wall thickness from 0.5 mm to 6 mm. Custom aspect ratios and non-standard dimensions are available. Cut-to-length and beveled or plain end processing are offered.
What standards do stainless steel rectangular tubes comply with?
Our rectangular tubes comply with ASTM A554, ASTM A312, EN 10296, EN 10217-7, JIS G3446, JIS G3468, GB/T 12770, GB/T 18705, and ISO 1127. Mill Test Certificates with chemical analysis and mechanical properties accompany every shipment.
What applications use rectangular stainless steel tubing?
Common applications include machine frames, food processing tables, conveyor structures, display fixtures, sign structures, vehicle exhaust systems, and architectural facades where both structural strength and corrosion resistance are required.
What is the structural difference between rectangular and square tube?
Rectangular tube has different second moments of area on each axis, making it stiffer in one bending direction. It is preferred for beams and horizontal supports carrying primary loads in one plane. Square tube provides equal stiffness in all lateral directions, making it better for columns and multi-axis loading.
