There are many benefits to using mechanical tubing. One great benefit is the uniformity of the tube. A mechanical tube has uniform concentricity and wall thickness and also uniform mechanical properties. In addition to uniformity, strength is another great benefit. The cold-forming process gives the tube a higher tensile strength and yield than other tubes.
There other benefits of mechanical tubing such as cost, wide size range, a variety of shapes, and less processing. This type of tubing is usually made from a cold-rolled coil.
