Mild Steel 1″ Round Pipe, 1.6mm (16G) Wall Thickness, 6m

1″ Round Steel Pipe

The Mild Steel 1″ Round Pipe is a versatile circular hollow section (CHS) designed for structural fabrication, fencing, and light-duty engineering projects. This 16-gauge steel tubing provides a reliable balance of tensile strength and weight efficiency for non-pressure applications. It integrates seamlessly into various workshop projects requiring a clean, uniform profile for welding or mechanical joining.

Built for the Job

Site supervisors and metal fabricators frequently specify this 25.4mm outside diameter tubing for residential and commercial security installations. The 1.6mm wall thickness allows for high-quality weld penetration without the risk of burn-through common in thinner gauges. This material is standard for creating rigid frameworks that must withstand daily handling while remaining light enough for manual installation. It is commonly used in environments where structural predictability and ease of modification on-site are required.

• Fabrication of security grilles, window bars, and internal handrail systems.

• Construction of lightweight furniture frames and retail display racking.

• Assembly of agricultural pens, gate frames, and temporary site partitions.

Product Highlights

Dimensional Accuracy

The cold-rolled manufacturing process ensures a consistent outside diameter and wall thickness throughout the entire length.

Fabrication Readiness

• Low carbon content allows for excellent arc stability during MMA welding.
• The smooth mill finish accepts industrial primers and powder coatings with minimal surface preparation.
• High ductility permits precision bending using standard manual or hydraulic pipe benders.

On-Site & Workshop Notes

• Store this steel section in a dry, covered area to prevent the formation of surface oxidation before painting.

• When cutting this hollow profile, use an abrasive chop saw or a fine-toothed bandsaw for clean, burr-free edges.

• Degrease the surface thoroughly with a solvent-based cleaner before applying any protective coatings or primers.

• Ensure all weld slag is chipped and wire-brushed away to maintain the structural integrity of the joints.
