Mechanical (ERW) Steel Tubing

Mechanical Tube is manufactured to extremely tight tolerances tailored to each customer’s specifications, whether it be ASTM or their own internal standards.

Lock Joint Tube produces cold formed, high frequency electric resistance welded tubing. Among the several applications, ERW steel tubing has the broadest range of applications. LJT electric resistance welded tubing is known in the industry as having tight dimensional tolerances, exceptional straightness and twist control, and world-class surface finishes for given material selection.

As your welded mechanical (ERW) steel tubing supplier, we look forward to working with you and meeting your specific needs!
