Cold Rolled Steel Pipe

What is a Cold Rolled Steel Pipe?

Cold rolled steel pipe is produced from cold rolled steel strip that is formed into a tube and welded using electric resistance welding (ERW). This process creates a cold rolled welded steel pipe with improved surface quality and tighter dimensional tolerances compared to standard hot rolled pipes.

In many industrial and structural applications, these products are referred to as cold formed steel pipe or cold rolled structural steel pipe. When the cross-section is square or rectangular, they are known as cold rolled square hollow section and cold rolled rectangular hollow section – all covered under the cold rolled hollow section pipe family.

Typical applications include cold rolled carbon steel pipe for furniture frames, machinery structures, automotive parts, shelving, racking systems and precision fabricated components where appearance and accurate fit-up are important.

Advantages and Applications of Cold Rolled Steel Tube

Main Advantages

• High dimensional accuracy: Precision cold rolled steel tube offers tight tolerances on outside diameter, wall thickness and straightness.
• Smooth surface finish: Ideal for visible parts in furniture and automotive applications that will be painted or plated.
• Thin wall capability: Thin wall cold rolled steel pipe reduces weight while maintaining strength and stiffness.
• Excellent formability: Suitable for bending, laser cutting, punching and machining operations.
• Consistent weld quality: Stable ERW welding for reliable performance in structural and mechanical uses.

Typical Application Areas

• Furniture industry: Furniture steel pipe cold rolled for chairs, tables, frames and shop fittings.
• Machinery manufacturing: Machinery steel pipe cold rolled for frames, guards, machine columns and precision assemblies.
• Automotive and transportation: Automotive cold rolled steel tube in seat frames, body-reinforcement parts and trailer structures.
• Construction and interiors: Cold rolled structural steel pipe and hollow sections for handrails, balustrades, partition systems and light structures.

Cold Rolled Steel Pipe Size & Weight Table

The following table lists typical cold rolled steel pipe dimensions and theoretical weights for thin wall cold rolled carbon steel pipe. Values are approximate and based on uncoated material.

Theoretical weight formula: W (kg/m) ≈ 0.02466 × (D − t) × t (D and t in millimetres) for a hollow cylinder. Coatings such as galvanizing, painting or internal lining will slightly increase the actual weight.

Standards and Grades for Cold Rolled Structural Pipes

HL Metal supplies EN 10219 cold rolled pipe and EN 10219 steel tube produced from cold formed strip and ERW welded according to European standards. These products cover cold rolled square hollow section, cold rolled rectangular hollow section and round cold formed steel pipe for structural and mechanical use.

As an EN 10219 steel tube supplier, HL Metal delivers cold rolled structural steel pipe in common grades such as S235JR, S275JR, S355J2H and equivalent. On request, special grades and customized tolerances can be offered for high precision steel tube cold rolled applications.

We also support project-specific requirements where custom size cold rolled steel pipe and made to order steel pipe cold rolled are needed for optimized weight and performance.
