The mild steel tube, of grade EN10305E220, is a durable, hot rolled round tubing with dimensions of 70mm external diameter and 2mm wall thickness. Suited for diverse applications like automotive components, construction, and furniture, its robustness and adaptability make it ideal for tasks demanding both strength and flexibility, such as handrails or playground structures.
70 x 2mm mild steel tube is used in many structural and engineering applications. The size refers to the outside diameter and then the thickness of the wall.
The 70 x 2mm Mild Steel Tube ERW Round Tubing offered by Speciality Metals is a versatile product that serves various purposes. Made from durable materials, this tubing is designed to withstand intense pressure and extreme weather conditions. The possibilities of using mild steel tube are endless, ranging from its use in automotive manufacturing to the construction industry. Its superior strength and flexibility make it a popular choice for fabricating fences, gates, handrails, and other structures. This tubing can also be used in the creation of furniture, playground equipment, and exercise equipment.
The mild steel round tube, with specifications of grade EN10305E220, showcases the ideal blend of strength and malleability. This hot rolled product possesses an external diameter of 70mm, complemented by a wall thickness of 2mm, leading to an internal diameter of 66mm. The mild steel tube’s inherent durability ensures it can meet a variety of industrial and structural requirements. Commonly employed in sectors like automotive, infrastructure, and furniture design, this tube presents a solution for fabrications requiring a combination of resilience and adaptability. Whether incorporated in handrails, playground installations, or vehicle components, its consistency in form and function is evident.
We also carry a wide range of mild steel sheet metal, angle iron and flat bar.

Yes, mild steel round tubing can be welded. Mild steel is known for its excellent weldability, making it a popular choice for welding applications. Welding mild steel tubing most commonly involves MIG (Metal Inert Gas) or TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding. By using these processes, strong and durable weld joints can be created, enabling various structures and components to be fabricated. It’s important to follow proper welding procedures and ensure the correct welding parameters for successful and reliable welds.
We recently published a detailed article on TIG welding. This may be very useful in understanding the process.
No, none of our tubing comes with a protective coating.
Yes, 70mm x 2mm mild steel tube can be used in structural applications. Due to their strength, durability, and versatility, mild steel tubes are often used for structural purposes. The dimensions 70mm x 2mm indicate a tube with an outer diameter of 70mm and a wall thickness of 2mm. Mild steel tubes of this size are ideal for building load-bearing structures such as frames, supports, handrails, and other structural elements. It’s essential, however, to take into account the specific requirements of the project, such as load-bearing capacity and structural design considerations.
A mild steel tube can withstand high pressure, but its capacity to do so is largely determined by its wall thickness, diameter, steel grade, and construction method. Typically, the thicker the wall of the tube, the higher the pressure it can handle. You should, however, consult with the tube’s manufacturer or refer to its specifications to find out its exact pressure rating. Consider using a mild steel tube for a high-pressure application only if it meets the necessary standards and has been tested.
The use of mild steel tube for plumbing applications is technically possible, but it may not be the best option. The primary concern is its susceptibility to corrosion, especially when in constant contact with water. Over time, this could cause rusting and compromise water quality. Other materials, such as copper or PVC, might be more suitable for potable water systems where water integrity is critical. However, for non-potable systems where water quality isn’t a primary concern, mild steel may be considered, provided protective measures like internal coatings are applied to minimise corrosion.
