Facts about professional pipes: types and selection criteria
In recent decades, Proftruba has been used in construction, in the advertising and design industry, heavy and light industry - there are many areas of application. There are a couple of basic types of shape:
- Square profile pipe (GOST 8639-83) is a multifunctional material that is suitable for strengthening foundations, reinforcing the wall frame and building floors. The square shape makes it possible to withstand loads and maintain stability. This type of profile pipe is easy to transport and install.
- Rectangular section (GOST 8645-68) in terms of strength is generally not inferior to square. It is used when it is required to reduce the weight of the system, but not at the expense of operating parameters. It is also optimal for reinforcement and strengthening.
- Oval shaped pipe (GOST 8642-68) is often used for the production of decorative structures: gazebos, fences or awnings. Their main difference in comparison with other species is their small thickness - 0.5-1.2 mm.
In addition, the industrial pipes differ in the method of issue:
- Seamless
Profile pipes made in this way are more durable due to the absence of a weak point - a welded seam. Because of this, pipes are used to install metal frames for buildings.
- Welded
Profiled pipes are used for the production of benches, greenhouses and other structures that are not designed for colossal loads. Products that are made in this way have a reduced wall thickness, because of this, they have a lower margin of durability compared to seamless models.
Before buying a profile pipe, it is worth deciding on the purpose, the main criteria for selecting a material depend on it: thickness, shape, dimensions of metal and type of alloy.
For example, for the production of products with a moderate weight - decorative structures, furniture, professional pipes with thin walls from 0.5 to 1.2 mm are optimal. Do not forget the rule: the larger and thicker the profile pipe, the higher its strength parameters.
