How PTR size (caliber) I should use?

The PTR structural profile is an essential material in the construction and structural industry, due to its wide variety of dimensions and thicknesses. Its design allows it to be part of different projects not only as a structural element, but as a decorative element to improve the image.

It is very versatile and it can be used in a wide variety of applications.

We can find it in houses or residences to create railings on stairs, hallways or balconies. They also work as protection for windows or roof tiles. Likewise, it can be used for more professional constructions, such as warehouses, factories, warehouses, shopping centers, parking lots, greenhouses, frames, furniture, bars, posts, road signs, among others.

The PTR profile can also be known as a tubular profile, of which we can find two different square and rectangular shapes. It is considered one of the most commercial profiles since it stands out for being a solid material that distributes loads well.

It is a very easy material to weld, cut and form. Its properties, such as resistance and rigidity, are much greater when compared to other materials such as angles or channels.

Another of its outstanding characteristics is that there is a wide variety of calibers of this material.

This makes it a material that can be adapted to a large number of projects. The type of caliber indicates the thickness either in millimeters or inches, this will help you choose the one that best suits your needs.

These caliber options give you flexibility and allow the material to give an optimal and safe result.

It is also important to choose the appropriate thickness, the structural requirements are considered and to seek advice from an architect, engineer or person in charge of the work, in order to guarantee the quality and good results of the material.

This material stands out for its resistance, which makes it ideal for supporting loads. Another important point to consider when choosing the caliber is its number, the lower its number, the greater its thickness and, consequently, the more resistant it is in structural terms.

When a commercial PTR profile is going to be used in construction, we must take into account the weights and measurements of the work with the appropriate calculation, since if this is not considered, the profiles will not support the load of the construction and may cause damage to the work.

As we mentioned above, PTR has multiple advantages which make it one of the most valued materials in different industries. It is a light and hollow material, but resistant, which is one of the most outstanding characteristics, which is good when it comes to move or transport it.

Furthermore, thanks to its four sides, a correct distribution of loads can be easily achieved, without damaging the integrity of PTR profile or the structure.

At Serviacero Comercial, we are manufacturers of PTR. We have the capacity to produce a great variety of dimensions, with a wide range of calibers and thicknesses.
