Hello,
From an older topic I know that the internal radii seems to vary between 3.6 and 3.8mm. The outer radii varies between 4.8 and 5.2mm. That has been measured by hand. Is this information still true today (any process improvement?).
What about the tolerance of the 20 mm of the side of the tube ? Is it +/- 0.1 mm ? In my application the tube shall slide inside the groove of roller which looks like this one <

The groove profile shall fit the tube side profile as close as possible.

See you talking about the pultruded box section tubes? If you are thinking about some sort of structural mechanism I would advice against using them in that manner with roller support. Unidirectional...

We have not sourced any different specification box sections, so the existing tolerances have remained the same. From a structural perspective, okemont is right in that you need to take care in term...

Thank you for your answer. Here is attached the force diagram applied along a 800 mm long square tube. F1 is a compression stress of 220N pic load (nominal value is at 100N). The four rollers are...

First of all, your diagram isn't in balance, as the leftward force isn't equal to the rightward :) besides that, if the diagram is accurate, this might work, as 220N isn't that great force for a 20mm...

I think that I will try to make it work. You have not answered to one of my initial questions.What about the tolerance of the 20 mm of the side of the tube ? pultrusion process is a kind of molding.....

Good Afternoon, Process improvements have occurred in the industry but there are still some difficulties that will cause variance in tube measurements. A good example is that cured epoxy continues....

I would like to give it a try to the pultruded box section tubes even if it is not the stongest. I checked the twisting moment and made some crush tests on one sample of hobbykingCarbon Fiber Square....
