C350 L0 tube is manufactured by cold-forming and by the electric resistance welding process. The cold-forming process provides controls to give tight dimensional tolerances for the sections. The cold-forming process also enhances the strength, hardness and surface finish of these products. The electric resistance welding produces a high quality weld. The internal weld bead must be a minimum of 1mm or less. Light and Extra Light pipes are normally available in Black, Painted, PreGal or Hot Dipped Galvanized Finish. SpecificationExtra LightGreenLightYellow Coatings: Painted products are coated with an Alkyd modified acrylic primer paint to a target thickness of 12 microns.

7 The average is 8-10 microns. Hot Dipped Galvanized pipes are galvanized to AS/NZS 4792 HDG 300 and have a minimum coating mass of 300 g/m . SupaGal products are Hot Dipped Galvanized to Section 3 of AS/NZS 4792 and have a minimum average coating of 100 g/m on both DuraGal products are Hot Dipped Galvanized to AS/NZS 4792 ILG 100 and have a minimum average coating of 100 g Section sizes 20NB to 50NB in Extra Light finish may also be available in a swaged one end finish Normally available in Hot Dipped Galvanized finish only.
