Features
  • Exceptional Solderability: Specifically designed for tasks requiring secure, neat joints. These tubes take very well to standard soldering techniques, making them ideal for structural assemblies.
  • High-Precision Workability: Can be cut precisely with a circular saw or manual hacksaw using non-ferrous blades. For intricate joinery, a metal frame saw provides excellent control.
  • Bending Performance: Tubes can be bent into complex curves without buckling by following professional precautions, such as filling the hollow core tightly with sand and sealing the ends before applying pressure.
  • Reliable Bonding: Highly receptive to two-component adhesives (Epoxy), Cyanoacrylates (Superglue), and specialised plastic glues like Ruderer L530 or UHU Hart for clean, high-strength bonds.
  • Classic Brass Aesthetic: Features a smooth, technical surface that can be polished to a high golden shine or treated with chemical patinas for aged, industrial, or architectural effects.

Description

Brass Round Tubes - High Precision Hollow Profiles

These professional-grade brass round tubes are an essential material for high-precision modelling, architectural structural details, and technical prototyping. Sourced for their exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and distinct aesthetic, these hollow profiles are available in an extensive range of diameters and wall thicknesses. Renowned for their superb workability, these tubes provide a refined, metallic finish for both functional frameworks and intricate decorative metalwork.

Applications:

  • Architectural Model Making: The definitive choice for representing structural columns, modern pipework, and contemporary facade frameworks. Thin-walled tubes with small diameters are perfect for intricate detailing, while larger sections provide robust primary supports for high-fidelity site models.
  • Prototyping & Industrial Design: Ideal for constructing lightweight frames, telescoping mechanisms, and bespoke mechanical components. These tubes can also serve as precise spacers or stand-offs for mounting signage and architectural display panels.
  • Film & TV Prop Making: Extensively used for building detailed "hero" props, scientific instrumentation, and futuristic set pieces. The materials classic metallic finish provides a professional on-camera look and responds beautifully to studio lighting.
  • Dioramas & Model Railways: A staple for constructing bespoke trackside structures, bridge girders, and historical rolling stock details where structural integrity and authentic metallic texture are required.
