• Round Tube

  This can be produced from steel, stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, etc., and is made to a specified outside diameter (OD) and wall thickness, with the inside diameter often described as a theoretical measurement. Tube is not produced to the inside diameter (ID), and it is differentiated from pipe, which is produced to a system of standards called “schedules.” Tube is also produced to closer tolerances. AED is mainly a supplier of tube materials.
