Steel Pipes/Tubes

Steel pipes/tubes are hollow, circular or special – shaped section steel products, playing vital roles in steel structure buildings and various industrial applications.

Detailed introduction to what steel pipes/tubes are and why to choose them (advantages of steel pipes/tubes)

Why choose steel pipes/tubes?

High strength – to – weight ratio: Steel pipes/tubes have an excellent strength – to – weight ratio. Their hollow structure enables them to bear large loads while keeping the self – weight relatively low. This is highly beneficial in steel structure buildings as it reduces the overall load on the foundation and allows for more efficient and economical structural designs, especially in high – rise or large – span constructions.

Good corrosion resistance ： When steel pipes/tubes undergo anti – corrosion treatments like galvanizing, painting, or applying anti – corrosion coatings, they exhibit good corrosion resistance. This is crucial for extending the service life of steel structure buildings, especially in environments with high humidity, chemical exposure, or coastal areas where corrosion is a major concern.

Easy to connect and install: Steel pipes/tubes can be easily connected using various methods such as welding, threading, or flange connections. This simplifies the installation process in steel structure buildings, reducing construction time and labor costs. The convenient connection also allows for flexible design modifications and expansions if needed.

Versatility in applications: They are suitable for a wide range of applications in steel structure buildings. Beyond structural supports, they can be used as pipelines for transporting fluids (like water, oil, or gas), as handrails, or as decorative elements, thanks to their diverse shapes and sizes.

Recyclability: Similar to other steel products, steel pipes/tubes are highly recyclable. At the end of a building’s life cycle, they can be recycled and reused, contributing to environmental sustainability and resource conservation.
