This is your assurance that Orrcon Steel products meet the highest quality standard. A variety of surface finishes are available across our range of precision tubulars, but not all finishes are available in all sizes.
There are a number of advantages in using Oval Tube Steel as opposed to standard circular tubes. Oval Tube Steel is less likely to become distorted or bent out of shape as its shape is much stronger than round tubing when it is used on its preferential axis. It is also more compact and the tube takes up less storage space, making it a good choice for smaller settings with limited workroom. Furthermore, the shape of Oval Tube Steel is more aerodynamic, which makes it the ideal option for products such as exhaust pipes on vehicles.
Other benefits of Oval Tube Steel are listed below:
Oval Tube Steel is extremely versatile and can be used in a number of locations including homes, shopping malls centres, offices, hotels and hospitality establishments, airports and other public places. Oval Tube Steel can be used both internally and externally for a range of products, including:
You can view the sizes of Oval Tube Steel that we offer below. We have clearly labelled the sizes so that you can find the measurements that you need with ease.
It’s important to bear in mind that steel which is not circular in nature is much more difficult to bend and adapt. This means that more care and skill is required to manipulate the material, as well as using the right pieces of equipment to do so. This is necessary because non-round steel varieties do not have the same ability to support themselves as round tube steel, and and can flatten or buckle when they are manipulated.
