Hello everyone.
We have made the choice to buy seamless mild steel however I'm not sure that it was the right decision.
Welded steel is much cheaper and all the sizes we need is available in Egypt. The chassis was about 32.5 kgs based on the sizes we want. However, based on PatClarke's column and some recommendations from others, we have made the choice to go for seamless tubes which is much heavier....58Kgs the chassis should weigh.
Without testing the tubes in the lab, thanks to our stupid bureaucracy, I'm not sure that we have taken the right decision. It is important to me to know what you think because if seamless tubes are needed then our future teams must consider some serious replacement.
