What is carbon steel tubing?
Carbon steel tubing is steel tube containing only residual quantities of elements other than carbon and manganese. Typical industrial AISI designated steel grades include 1006, 1008, and 1010. The grade designation indicates the nominal percent carbon, i.e., 1006 nominally has .06% carbon, 1008 nominally has .08% carbon etc. Grades 1006and 1008 are the most common grades specified for low carbon welded seam tubing.
