Square pipe: application and properties of the range

Square tube is the most popular, popular and widespread type of rolled metal. The main factor in choosing such materials is their reasonable price. The square metal pipe has a cross-section with equal dimensions in height and width, and its main purpose is to manufacture reinforcing units of frame and supporting structures. The product is used in the construction industry and in machine building.

Pipe square steel is widely used as bearing the main elements of the foundation, formwork and metal structures. Its special shape makes it possible to carry out installation with ease and speed, significantly increasing the stability of buildings. In addition, the product has found application in the manufacture of fences, gates, when creating decorative fences.

The main characteristics of square pipes are regulated by state standards, which determine the range of profile materials. Thus, the products are produced hot-rolled and cold-drawn, as well as using electric welding. Depending on the manufacturing technology, the square tube is cold and hot-deformed. These types refer to seamless materials. Pipes with the use of welding technologies are made of sheet metal.

The dimensions of the assortment can vary in the thickness of the wall from 1 to 14 mm, while the width of the profile can be from 1 to 18 centimeters. The square tube is made from one and a half to 12.5 meters in length. The price of the products depends on both the manufacturing method and the dimensions. If necessary, the pipes can be made to order with different sizes from the standard.

For the manufacture of materials used as conventional carbon steel, and alloyed, with the addition of various chemical elements. This allows you to get products that are of high quality and excellent characteristics.

The square pipe has found wide application in modern construction due to its properties. The product has four stiffeners, a slight reduction in rigidity and a light weight in comparison with other types of rolled metal. This allows the material to be used as structural elements.

Thanks to the square shape of the products, the process of laying pipes on flat flat surfaces is simplified. For bonding materials, welding is used, which makes it possible to create structures having sufficient resistance to high loads.

High-quality steel, used in the manufacture of pipes, provides products with durability, wear resistance and corrosion resistance. Due to geometric characteristics, a square tube is used for the production of children's playgrounds, handrails, greenhouses, window grids, fences, slopes, advertising structures, chimneys, ventilation racks and furniture. The material has found application in the automotive industry.
