As a tube mill, we sell in truckload and combination truckload quantities. Although the total weight on an order will vary due to the type and size of tubing ordered, a typical truckload order will be approximately 40,000 to 45,000 pounds.
All of our tubing is produced to the following specifications; ASTM – A500, ASTM-A513, and ASTM-A787. We also have the capability to produce tubing to other specifications. If you’d like more information, we encourage you to call us or reach out to us via our contact page.
We fill orders to industries and manufacturers at a minimum of truckload and combination truckload quantities. For orders requiring less than truckload quantities, we can direct you to an appropriate steel service center in your area.
