They use it as a tension member only by flattening the ends and drilling hole for a 3/8" diameter MB.  All I need is the ultimate tension stress or a conservative value for axial tension.

                Even if I knew the properties of the tubes, from what I've seen of the connectors for EMT, I'm not sure I'd want to be involved in using it structurally.
