Selecting rectangular steel tubing for mechanical framing: Load-bearing capacity, stiffness, and material selection

Selecting rectangular steel tubing for mechanical framing: Load-bearing capacity, stiffness, and material selection

Some can support more weight, some are stiffer, and some last longer because of the material they are made from. At Teni, we understand that the right thin wall rectangular tubing is about more than size or price. It's knowing what your frame is going to do, and having steel that does that. 

Key Load-Bearing Considerations 

When you think in terms of load-bearing, will safely carry so many pounds on and break. Load is just any weight or force pressing down on or pulling against the frame. So, for instance, if you’re building a frame to support a heavy machine, the 1x2 rectangular steel tubing better be strong enough to bear the pounds of that machine and whatever’s on top of it. But strength isn’t only a measure of how thick the steel is. 

Where to Purchase Wholesale Rectangle Steel Tubing Ontarion for Long-Lasting Mechanical Frames? 

Good, reasonably priced rectangular steel tubing can be hard to find. If you purchase from any old place, you may receive sub-par products or pay too much for them. At Teni, our 1 x 2 rectangular steel tubing is produced with care and strength-tested for your safety. When you purchase from a reputable company wholesale, you always get the same quality. 

Typical Problems of Rectangular Steel Tubing on Mechanical Structural Support Applications 

Rectangular steel tubing is one of the most popular choices because it’s a tough, durable, and relatively low-cost choice when building new frames for machines that have to support a tremendous amount of weight. However, there are some common issues associated with using this type of steel tubing. One major issue is that the tubing can accommodate different kinds of forces. 

Trade-off between cost, quality and mechanical performance

There are 30+ square steel materials of mechanical tubing to choose from, with all these options it’s hard to know the right one for you or even if you’re paying the best price on your delivery fee. Quality steel tubing is expensive but is worth the investment for what it will do to maintain frame integrity and provide safety.
