What is Telespar steel?
The TeleSpar® system consists of square, perforated, welded steel tubing, in eight sizes and three gauges. Perforations or knockouts on all four sides allow you to mount signs back-to-back and on adjacent sides.
What is Telespar used for?
it is designed to make adjustment, reinforcement, and splicing fast and easy. By utilizing a square tube, Telespar exhibits superior wind load capabilities and torsional stability.
What is a Telespar post?
Telespar Sign Post is designed to make adjustment, reinforcement and splicing fast and easy. By utilizing a square tube, Telespar demonstrates superior wind load capabilities and torsional stability.
What is the thickness of a 12 gauge square tubing?
Solid (non-perforated) material. 12 gauge (. 105 wall thickness). Available in multiple sizes and in either pre-galvanized or plain carbon steel finishes.
How is Telespar made?
Telespar® tubing is produced through a unique manufacturing process where it is roll formed and in-line corner welded with tight corner radii allowing for smooth telescoping from one size tube to another. Tubing sizes range from 1-1/4” – 2-1/2” on the outside dimension.
Which is thicker 12 gauge or 14 gauge steel?
12 gauge offers a 0.098″ sheet thickness minimum, while the 14 gauge offers a 0.070″ sheet thickness minimum. The 12 gauge sheets are 40% heavier than the 14 gauge sheets. 12 gauge sheets are designed for dynamic pressure, the 14 gauge sheets are designed for static pressure.
Which is better 12 or 14 gauge steel?
12-gauge (. 106) steel is 2.86 times stronger than 14-gauge (. 075), even though it is only . 031 thicker.
What is the difference between telespar and mechanical tubing?
Unlike Telespar telescoping tubing specifically for sign post applications, mechanical tubing includes square tubing without holes (solid steel square tubing) and plain carbon steel (“black” steel) finish (unfinished). Carbon steel telescopic tubing is lightly oiled to inhibit rust.
What are the dimensions of telespar square tubing?
Telespar square tubing is available in solid or perforated tube sections. The perforated holes are 7/16″ and spaced 1″ on centers, except for the 1-1/4″ which have 11/32″ holes on 1″ centers. Use the Telespar system to fill your building needs in almost any application:
What is telespar material made of?
Telespar Specifications Materials Tubing with plain finish is roll formed from 10 gauge and 12 gauge hot rolled steel, ASTM DES A1011 Grade 50, pickled and oiled. Galvanized finish, roll formed from 10 gauge and 12 gauge hot rolled steel, galvanized material ASTM-A 653 Grade 50. Average minimum yield strength after cold forming is 60,000PSI
What type of steel is used for telescopic tubing?
Carbon steel telescopic tubing is lightly oiled to inhibit rust. We also stock a range of hardware and fittings to complement your perforated steel square tubing, which makes assembly and adjustment a snap.
