- TTalkians, I have a 20' long steel mast (looks like chrome moly) with 0.25" walls, which until today I assumed was 2" in diameter. I had taken it down from the tower where it was in service, so at th

- Howie, That's schedule 80 pipe dimensions, not tube. I'm going to vote against any exotic alloy. Check the wall thickness carefully; if it's close to 0.200, it's pipe. 73, geo - n4ua ________________

- A big thank-you to all who replied off-list. I agree with all that what I have is a 20' long piece of Schedule 80 water pipe...the odd thing - it is stainless. Outside for 6 years with me, and maybe

- Unfortunately physical dimensions are not a reliable indicator of water pipe vs. structural-grade tubing because they are both produced in the 1.90-inch O.D. size. When you say it "looks like" chrom
