The Tin element is a non-ferrous metal with excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance, and strength. It is used in a variety of applications and is available as tubing, rods, and sheet.

A tin tube is a length of pipe or tubing that is closed and welded. These tubes are engineered for specific industrial applications and are made from a variety of metallic elements or alloys. They are stronger and more robust than other types of tubing and are typically designed for structural and fluid flow applications.

Common materials for tin tubing include copper, brass, aluminum, and stainless steel. These materials vary in terms of strength, conductivity, and corrosion resistance, and they can be forged or machined into various shapes and sizes.

Choosing the right metal for your application is important. Metals are based on the amount of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur contained in them. These are the most common alloying elements in metals and they affect properties such as hardness, tensile strength, and impact resistance.

The type of bending is another consideration. Some types of bending require heat while others are done at room temperature. Cold tube bending, such as press and rotary bending, is a common method for forming metals.

Shapes and Performance Standards

There are many different shapes that metal tubes can be produced in, though the most common are circular. These are often used for fluid flow applications and provide even strength distribution throughout the tube. Other shapes, including oval and rectangular, can also be produced for certain applications.
