T Shape Triangle Stainless Steel Tube

Shaped tubing refers to tubing that is not round (circular) in form. Frequently, applications involve some type of stainless steel support for a product, a path or race for fiberoptics or other smaller components, or a dispensing application. Depending on requirements detailed by the customer, shaped tubing can be made stronger in some directions in a similar manner to the concept of an I-beam. All tubing drawn into shapes has to be formed through custom manufactured dies and subsequently straightened though specially formed tooling for straightening profiled tubing. In some cases, customer requirements result in a modest engineering fee for the design work associated with developing a method to form the tube. Jindalai supplies shaped tubing in a variety of alloys, most popularly in 304 or 316 stainless steel. However, all alloys that Jindalai produces can be drawn into shapes provided the shape is capable of being formed.
