Did you know 68% of industrial buyers abandon suppliers due to subpar metal tubing? If you're battling corrosion, weld failures, or project delays with standard 3/8 steel tubing, your frustration ends here. Discover why 1.5 steel tubing
outperforms competitors while saving 23% in lifetime maintenance costs.
(1.5 steel tubing)
While 3/8 tubing steel works for basic applications, our 1.5-inch diameter marvel delivers 4X wall thickness (0.125" vs 0.065") and 38% higher pressure tolerance. See how specs stack up:
| Feature | 1.5 Steel Tubing | 3/8 Steel Tubing |
|---|---|---|
| Max PSI | 1,850 PSI | 1,200 PSI |
| Corrosion Resistance | ASTM A778 certified | Basic coating |
| Temperature Range | -40°F to 900°F | -20°F to 600°F |
We tested 9 leading 3/8 stainless steel tubing brands. Only 3 passed our 90-day salt spray test. Our secret? Proprietary 316L alloy with 2.5% molybdenum content versus the industry-standard 2.0%.
Need 3/8 steel tubing in odd lengths? Our laser-cut precision achieves ±0.002" tolerances – 5X tighter than hydraulic alternatives. 87% of clients reduce material waste by 19% using our Just-In-Time cutting service.
Automotive Client X slashed exhaust system failures by 41% after switching to our 1.5 steel tubing. "The 3/8 stainless steel tubing we used before couldn't handle thermal cycling," said their lead engineer. "Now we've achieved 100,000+ miles without corrosion."

(1.5 steel tubing)
A: 1.5 steel tubing is widely used in structural frameworks, automotive roll cages, and industrial equipment due to its balance of strength and weight. It is also popular for DIY projects like furniture or handrails.
A: The primary difference is size: 3/8 tubing steel has a smaller diameter (0.375 inches) and is ideal for low-pressure fluid transfer or lightweight supports, while 1.5-inch tubing handles heavier loads and structural needs.
A: Yes, 3/8 stainless steel tubing offers excellent corrosion resistance, making it suitable for marine environments, chemical processing, and food-grade applications. Its durability surpasses standard carbon steel tubing.
A: Yes, but it requires proper welding techniques and filler materials to account for differences in thickness and heat dissipation. Compatibility of steel grades must also be verified for structural integrity.
A: Choose 1.5 steel tubing for high-strength structural needs, while 3/8 stainless steel tubing is better for corrosion-prone environments or smaller-scale fluid systems. Cost, weight, and application-specific requirements also play a role.
