Structural Tubing Dimensions
Structural Tubing Dimensions
(OP)
Hi All,
I am looking for the relationship between the corner radius on various sizes of structural rectangular and square tubing. Is there a relationship between the wall thickness and the corner radius? If not, is there a table anywhere on the web that gives the dimensions for a range of tubing?

I believe the relationship is outside corner radius = 2xwall thickness.

The ASTM A500 standard calls for the OUTSIDE radius to be no more than 3X wall thickness. There is a chart in the Copperweld spec. sheet that gives values for varying thicknesses and also qualifiers depending on perimeter and size proportionality.
RE: Structural Tubing Dimensions
The chart goes from 1/2" to 8" size and 3-24 Ga. wall thickness
I do know at standard a 6a/6m 02b is for structural steel bars, plates , shapes and sheet piling but I 'don't believe there is anything in it on tubing.
RE: Structural Tubing Dimensions
I hate to re-calculate every time I want to pick a different size (plus my numbers come up a little different), and have been too busy to do a spreadsheet. Sizes like 8" x 2" x 1/4" or 6"x2"x7ga

Check out www.engineerstoolbox.com. It's a good site to calc moment of inertia, section modulus, area etc on line.

Thanks for the tip.
