Value Collection 31227 Seamless Alloy Steel Tube 1010

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 31227 is a seamless 1010 alloy steel tube intended for industrial, mechanical, and trade fabrication applications. It measures 72 inches in length with a 0.5-inch outside diameter and a 0.035-inch wall thickness, yielding an inside diameter of 0.430 inches. The seamless construction eliminates a longitudinal weld seam, which improves concentricity and pressure integrity compared to welded alternatives. At 0.17 pounds, this tube is lightweight and well-suited for low-load structural assemblies, hydraulic or pneumatic line work, or precision fabrication where consistent wall thickness is critical. Machinists, pipefitters, and fabricators are the primary installers.

This tube is appropriate for use in residential and light commercial mechanical systems, custom fabrication shops, and maintenance-repair-operations environments. Its 1010 low-carbon alloy steel composition offers good formability and weldability, making it a practical choice for bending, threading, or cutting to length on the job. Typical applications include instrument tubing runs, small-bore hydraulic lines, structural sleeves, and custom bracket or frame fabrication where a standardized seamless tube is required.

Key Features

• Seamless construction for consistent wall thickness and improved pressure integrity
• 1010 low-carbon alloy steel offers good weldability and formability
• 0.035-inch wall thickness with 0.430-inch inside diameter for predictable flow or fit calculations
• 72-inch overall length provides flexibility for cutting to custom sizes on site
• Lightweight at 0.17 pounds, reducing handling difficulty during fabrication

Compatibility

Designed as a standard seamless alloy steel tube for general fabrication, light hydraulic line work, and mechanical assembly applications requiring 1010-grade material in a 0.5-inch OD profile.

Installation Notes

Cutting and fitting should be performed by a qualified pipefitter, machinist, or fabricator using appropriate tube cutters or metal-cutting saws rated for alloy steel. Deburr all cut ends before assembly to prevent seal damage or flow restriction. Verify system pressure ratings against wall thickness before use in pressurized applications. Shut down and depressurize any connected system before replacing or splicing into an existing line.
