About ASTM A513
ASTM A513 covers electric-resistance-welded carbon and alloy steel mechanical tubing produced in round, square, rectangular, and special shapes. Designed for mechanical and pressure applications requiring tighter dimensional tolerances.
This size meets ASTM A513 requirements with a minimum yield strength of 50 ksi and minimum tensile strength of 70 ksi. View the full ASTM A513 standard.
Common Applications
1.0 OD round tubing in ASTM A513 is commonly used for: Hydraulic cylinders, pneumatic cylinders, automotive shafts, precision mechanical components, bushings.
Round tubing offers the most efficient strength-to-weight ratio under torsional and bending loads, used widely in mechanical assemblies, pressure applications, automotive components, and any application where smooth surfaces aid flow or rotation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1.0 OD round steel tubing used for?
1.0 OD round tubing in ASTM A513 is used for Hydraulic cylinders, pneumatic cylinders, automotive shafts, precision mechanical components, bushings. Round tubing offers the most efficient strength-to-weight ratio under torsional and bending loads, used widely in mechanical assemblies, pressure applications, automotive components, and any application where smooth surfaces aid flow or rotation. Nova Steel supplies this size to fabricators, contractors, and OEMs across structural and mechanical applications.
What is the weight of 1.0 OD round tubing with a 0.120″ wall?
1.0 OD round steel tubing with a 0.120″ wall weighs 1.02 lbs per foot. A standard 20-ft length weighs approximately 20.4 lbs.
Can I order 1.0 OD round tubing cut to a custom length?
Yes. Nova Steel offers cut-to-length service on 1.0 OD ASTM A513 round tubing. Submit your length and quantity through the quote form above, and we’ll respond with pricing and lead time.
What’s the difference between ASTM A513 and A500 for round tubing?
ASTM A513 and A500 are both common specifications for round steel tubing, but they serve different purposes. ASTM A513 is a mechanical tubing specification focused on dimensional precision and surface finish, used in applications where tight tolerances matter more than structural strength ratings. ASTM A500 is a structural specification with defined minimum yield and tensile strengths, used primarily in load-bearing applications like framing and columns. For 1.0 OD round tubing, Nova Steel supplies the A513 specification described on this page; contact us if you need A500 in the same size.
Is 1.0 OD round tubing with a 0.120″ wall available?
Yes. 1.0 OD ASTM A513 round tubing with a 0.120″ wall is a stocked size at Nova Steel, available in 20-ft standard lengths and cut-to-length on request. Standard lead time for cut orders is typically same-day to 2 business days depending on quantity. Submit the quote form for current availability and pricing.
