PRODUCT 02.05 · OVAL TUBE
Oval tube 50×100 mm — the widest standard oval, for wide bays and heavy load cases.
50×100 mm oval, wall 1.5–2.5 mm, straight or bent to your arch radius. Top of the oval range before a fabricated truss.
An 50×100 oval is specified by the outside dimensions and the wall. The 50 mm face is what the clamp grips; the 100 mm depth is what resists bending in the plane of the arch. When a buyer changes from a smaller oval to this one but keeps the same clamps, they are usually trading a little clamp clearance for noticeably more depth — check the clamp bore before you commit.
