The Difference between Mechanical and Structural Steel Tube
Steel tube is used in a variety of structural and industrial applications, such as automobile transport, architecture, and construction. These steel tubes are made of different steel structures, from stainless steel, carbon, zinc or soft steel, depending on the application requirements. Steel tubing is divided into two classes: mechanical and structural, depending on its design. So what is the difference between mechanical and structural steel tube? Below are some points to consider while differentiating the two types of steel tubing. The comparison is made on the basis of application, specification, and shape. Comparison between mechanical and structural steel tube Application: Mechanical tubing is used in low stress and light gauge structural applications. These applications include conveyor belt components, solar panel supports, greenhouse structures, kitchens and restaurants, hospitals and medical equipment, and various types of industrial machinery.
