Welded Tubing: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $3.50 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $1.80 at volume, on a typical 30-day lead time. These medians come from published supplier pricing. Treat them as a starting point for a sourcing conversation rather than a binding quote.
Median price by order quantity

|---|---|
| 500–999 units | $3.50 |
| 1,000–4,999 units | $3.00 |
| 5,000–9,999 units | $2.50 |
| 10,000–24,999 units | $2.20 |
| 25,000–99,999 units | $2.00 |
| 100,000+ units | $1.80 |
What moves the price
For welded tubing, the drivers are diameter, length, grade, thread type, corrosion resistance, equipment fitment, tube diameter, steel grade — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published wholesale references for welded/mechanical tubing cluster around about $1,380-$1,430 per ton for ASTM A513 welded mechanical tubing and roughly $1,700-$1,800 per ton for ERW standard pipe, with stainless welded tubing much higher; converting tonnage prices to per-unit cost produces very low per-piece material costs for short lengths, so final unit price is driven mostly by cut length, OD/wall, grade, finish/coating, and fabrication steps rather than raw steel alone. Realistic supplier routes are U.S. master distributors and steel service centers for standard tube stock, or import/manufacturing platforms for custom fabricated or coated tubing; custom mounting, certification, and attached features can move a quote materially above commodity tube pricing.
