It is round in shape and characterized by being of large volume, its design is made to withstand large loads, they are resistant tubes which make them ideal for performing strength and durability functions, they have resistance to tension and malleability.
Uses and applications Structural Tube:
• Structural industry: for the manufacture of towers, columns, buildings and poles.
• Construction: for buildings, support beams in residences, bridges, engineering projects, as architectural ornamental use for residences and sophisticated designs.
• Agriculture: for the manufacture of agricultural machinery and equipment.
• Industrial: in the manufacture of heavy machinery, equipment, components and structures.
• Energy: used in the construction of energy towers, stations and structures.
These types of tubes are highly resistant, durable and versatile, which makes them functional for use in a wide range of industries and applications.
It is manufactured in three standards: A500 – B, which stands out because the materials made under it are for structural purposes, ASTM A53 – which stands out for its tensile strength, API 5L, which stands out for its great performance in high-capacity tubes. diameter.
Highlighted features of the Structural Tube:
1. Load capacity: it is ideal for applications that require supporting large weight loads.
2. Variety: we find a wide variety of thicknesses which allows it to adapt to different requirements or structural designs.
3. Ductility: it has the capacity to resist stress or deformation.
4. Malleability: its ability to not break or fracture stands out.
5. Weldability: it is a material that is easy to join with others regardless of the welding method used.
6. Recyclability: it is a material that can be completely recycled, making it environmentally friendly.
7. Versatility: it is a material that can be complemented with others such as HSS, corrugated sheet, galvanized sheet, cold rolled steel sheet, hot rolled steel sheet, among others.
8. Variety of schedules: you can find various schedules which provide flow, temperature and pressure according to what is sought to be accomplished in the different projects.
The aforementioned characteristics make structural tubes a fundamental material in industries, from construction, manufacturing of heavy machinery and structures.
