Material

Material for roll cage construction must be 4130 chromoly tubing or ASTM 1018/1026 CDS/DOM. All welding must be of the highest quality with full penetration and no undercutting of the parent metal. All welds shall conform to the American Welding Society D1.1, Structural Welding Code, Chapter 10, Tubular Structures and Standards for the material used (see AWS. Org). It is strongly recommended that the welder inspect all welds using Magnaflux™, die-penitent, or other effective methods.

All tubes must be welded 360-degrees around the circumference of the tube. No oxy-acetylene brazing or welding allowed. Good external appearance of a weld does not necessarily guarantee its quality, poor looking welds are never a sign of good workmanship.

None of the tubing may show any signs of crimping or wall failure. All bends must be mandrel type. The center radius of the bends may not be less than three (3) times the outside diameter of the roll cage tubing.

It must be emphasized that the use of heat-treated or high carbon steels may cause problems and that bad fabrication may result in a decrease in strength (caused by brittle heat-affected zones), inadequate ductility and internal stress.

Roll Cage Tubing Sizes

For the purposes of determining roll bar tubing sizes, vehicle weight is as raced, but without fuel and driver. Note: There is an allowance of minus 0.010 inches on all tubing thicknesses. Minimum tubing size for the roll cage is:

Up to 2000 lbs. 1.500” x 0.095” CDN/4130/Seamless or ASTM 1018/1026 CDS/DOM

2001 - 2500 lbs. 1.500” x 0.120” CDN/4130/Seamless or ASTM 1018/1026 CDS/DOM

2501 - 3000 lbs. 1.750” x 0.095” CDN/4130/Seamless or ASTM 1018/1026 CDS/DOM

3001 - 4000 lbs. 1.750” x .120” CDN/4130/Seamless or ASTM 1018/1026 CDS/DOM

Over 4000 lbs. 2.000” x 0.120” CDN/4130/Seamless or ASTM 1018/1026 CDS/DOM
