How to Measure
To ensure you order the correct tubing, measure carefully. For square or rectangular tubing, measure the outside dimensions (width and height) across the flats. For round tubing like 3 inch steel tubing, measure the outside diameter (OD). Wall thickness is critical; use calipers to measure the thickness of the tube wall itself. Specify the material type, shape, exact dimensions (e.g., 3x3x0.25 inch for square, or 3 inch OD with schedule for round), and desired length. The experts at Bobco Metals in Los Angeles are always available to assist with measurement verification and product selection for your specific application.
