Tubes &
hollow sections

A clear requirement connects the section’s dimensions with the conditions in which it will be used.

The drawing is not to scale and declares no dimensions or grade.

Describe the section

State whether the section is round or shaped. Include the outside dimensions, wall thickness, required length and approximate quantity. Keep units consistent so the description can be discussed without ambiguity.

Describe the application

Material selection can depend on the environment, fabrication and finish requirements. Identify any required grade or standard rather than relying on the outline alone.

Confirm before ordering

Ask about the actual specification, availability and supporting documents for your requirement. A drawing on this page is a geometry aid and establishes no stock, certification or production capacity.
