A shaped tube is a tube that is not round (circular) in shape. Typically, the application involves some type of product stainless steel support, a path or track for fiber optics or other smaller pieces, or dispensing applications. Depending on the customer's detailed requirements, shaped tubing can be made stronger in certain directions in a manner similar to the I-beam concept. All drawn shaped tubing must be formed through custom fabricated molds and then straightened by special forming tools used to straighten shaped tubing. In some cases, customer requirements result in modest engineering costs for the design work associated with developing the method of forming the tube.

Our profiled tubes are used in various applications such as construction machinery, office furniture, various mechanical parts, snow melting heat exchange tubes and exterior decoration.
