Steel Tube Sqr 12X12X1.6Mm X 6M

The Steel Square Tube 12 x 12 x 1.6mm x 6m is a versatile steel section suitable for fabrication, construction, repair, and general metalwork applications. Featuring a 12mm x 12mm square profile, 1.6mm wall thickness, and 6-metre length, this steel tube is ideal for projects requiring a compact, straight, and practical structural or fabrication component.

Its square profile provides convenient flat surfaces for joining, welding, and fabrication, making it suitable for frames, supports, brackets, furniture projects, light structures, and general workshop applications.

12 x 12mm Square Steel Tube

This steel tube features a compact 12mm x 12mm square profile, making it particularly useful for smaller fabrication projects and detailed metalwork.

The 1.6mm wall thickness provides a practical balance between strength and manageable weight for suitable light-duty applications.

Supplied in a full 6m length, the tube can be measured and cut according to individual project requirements.

Ideal for Fabrication and Metalwork

Square steel tubing is widely used because its flat sides make measuring, cutting, aligning, welding, and joining straightforward.

Depending on project and engineering requirements, typical applications may include:

• Metal frames
• Light supports
• Brackets
• Furniture frames
• Shelving
• Decorative metalwork
• Workshop fabrication
• DIY projects
• Repairs and maintenance
• Light construction work

Easy to Cut and Fabricate

Steel square tube can be cut to the required dimensions using suitable metal-cutting equipment. Sections can then be welded, drilled, bolted, or joined using appropriate fabrication techniques.

For outdoor or moisture-exposed installations, suitable surface preparation and protective coatings should be applied to help protect untreated steel against corrosion.

Installation & Fabrication Guidelines

Measure and mark the steel carefully before cutting. Use suitable metal-cutting tools and appropriate personal protective equipment during cutting, drilling, grinding, and welding.

Remove sharp edges and burrs after cutting before handling or assembling the steel.

Where welding is required, appropriate welding procedures should be followed by a competent person.

For structural or load-bearing applications, the suitability of the 12 x 12 x 1.6mm profile should be confirmed according to the project’s engineering requirements.

Finishing and Corrosion Protection

If the steel tube is untreated, appropriate preparation and protective finishing may be required.

Depending on the application, this can include cleaning, priming, and applying a suitable metal coating or paint system, particularly when the steel will be exposed to moisture or outdoor conditions.
