Square Telescopic Tubing in Metric Sizes

Telescopic Tubing

Parker Steel now offers square carbon steel, telescopic tubing. Overall, telescopic tubing is a more precise tube with a much better tolerance than standard square tubing. The tighter tolerance allows another tube or another solid shape to slide inside the tube without any problems. Generally with standard square tubing, a combination of the weld bead and the tolerance won’t allow or guarantee anything to slide inside the tube consistently. The tolerance on a standard square tube is a plus or minus tolerance. However, with telescopic tubing, the tolerance is plus nothing, minus and the weld bead is removed, therefore allowing a smoother, more consistent inside and tighter tolerance inside the tube.

Consolidation in the Steel Industry

More consolidation is going on in the steel industry. This week at the Sheraton Hotel in Buenos Aires, steel leaders from around the world are meeting for the 40th International Iron and Steel Institute Congress. It was mentioned at the meeting that U.S. Steel is a target. Posco, South Korea's biggest producer, is on a buying binge and promises to double their capacity in the next couple of years by purchasing undervalued mills outside of their home country. Could it be that the icon of our countries industrial may soon be in the hands of Korean industrialists?
