Generic Mild Steel 1-Inch Round Pipe, 1.2mm (18 Gauge)

1-Inch Mild Steel Pipe

The Generic Mild Steel Round Pipe provides a reliable structural solution for light-duty fabrication, mechanical engineering, and furniture construction. Manufactured to standard 18-gauge thickness, this circular hollow section offers a balance between structural rigidity and ease of manipulation. It serves as a primary component for contractors requiring precise dimensions for weldments and frames.

Built for the Job

This carbon steel tubing is engineered for versatility on the job site. At a wall thickness of 1.2mm, the material allows for clean welding using MMA, MIG, or TIG processes without the high risk of burn-through associated with thinner gauges. Site supervisors frequently specify this diameter for internal railings, light-duty gates, and protective barriers. The smooth outer surface facilitates uniform coating application, whether using industrial primers or powder coating. Because it is cold-rolled, the material maintains consistent tolerances across its entire 6-meter length, ensuring that slip-fit joints and brackets align correctly during assembly. It is a staple in workshop environments where high-volume cutting and joining are required for production-scale furniture or equipment racks.

• Fabrication of retail display stands and storage racking systems.

• Construction of handrails and balustrades for residential projects.

• Manufacturing of automotive frames and light agricultural implements.

Product Highlights

Structural Integrity

The 18-gauge wall provides sufficient hoop strength for pressurized fluid transport in low-pressure gravity systems.

Fabrication Readiness

• Uniform 25.4mm outer diameter ensures compatibility with standard 1-inch pipe benders.
• Low carbon content allows for high ductility during cold forming and bending operations.

Technical Specifications

What’s Included

• 1 x 6-Meter Length of 1-Inch 18-Gauge MS Pipe

On-Site & Workshop Notes

• Always remove the protective oil film with a degreaser before attempting to weld or paint the steel surface.

• Apply a zinc-rich or red oxide primer immediately after fabrication to prevent oxidation and surface rust.

• Use a high-speed abrasive chop saw for square cuts to ensure tight tolerances for butt-welding joints.
