What is steel pipe?

Steel pipes are long and hollow tubes that are used for many different applications in a variety of places. Such as conveying fluids and powdery solids, exchanging heat, making machine parts and containers and so on. It is also an economical type of steel and its versatility makes pipes the most often used product that is produced by the steel industry. Steel pipe production technology development began with the rise of the bicycle manufacturing, development of oil in the early years of the 19th century, two world war ships, boilers, aircraft manufacturing, after the second world war thermal power boiler manufacturing, chemical industry and the development of oil and gas drilling and transportation, effectively driving the steel pipe industry in the development of varieties, yield and quality. Steel pipe can be divided into two categories according to the production method: seamless steel pipe and seam steel pipe, seam steel pipe is divided into straight seam steel pipe and spiral seam welded pipe.

What is structural steel pipe?

Structural steel pipe refers to the steel pipe mainly used in general engineering structure and mechanical structure. Compared with other structural forms, steel structure has the advantages of high strength, good plasticity, good toughness, light weight, good seismic performance, high structural safety, simple production, high degree of industrialization, low cost, good comprehensive economic benefits, and has been widely used in the construction industry.

Carbon structural pipes are mainly used in factories, bridges, ships and other buildings, such steel is generally used directly without heat treatment. Because of its high strength and comprehensive mechanical energy, alloy structural pipes are widely used in bridges, ships, boilers, vehicles and important building structures. Structural stainless-steel seamless steel pipe is widely used in chemical, petroleum, textile, medical, food, machinery and other industries corrosion-resistant pipes and structural parts. According to the manufacturing method can be divided into seamless structure pipe and welded structure pipe. According to the shape can be divided into circular, square, rectangular, oval and other irregular shapes.

What are the characteristics of steel structure?

Steel structure is mainly refers to the steel plate, hot rolled steel, thin wall steel and steel pipe and other components of the combination of the structure, it is one of the main structures of construction engineering. At present, steel structures have been widely used in housing construction, underground buildings, Bridges and offshore platforms, because steel structures have many advantages compared with structures of other materials, as follows:

High strength. Good plasticity and toughness

Under the same stress, the steel structure compared with mixed suspected soil structure and other structure, component is small, quality is light, suitable for building span is big, high altitude and carrying heavy structure, under the condition of general will not suddenly rupture by overload, will only increase deformation, so easy to find, in addition, also can reduce the local peak stress redistribution, the stress change is leveling off, It is advantageous to adopt steel structure in seismic area.

Steel construction is light in weight

The ratio of the density and strength of the lightweight structure can be used in the wood family is not measured. The smaller the ratio, the lighter the structure is, and the same load is borne by the same cross. The mass of steel roof truss is no more than 1/4-1/3 of reinforced concrete roof truss.

High degree of industrialization, short construction period

The materials used in the steel structure can be made in the industrial workshop, processing and production is simple, the components made can be shipped to the site for assembly, welding or bolt connection, easy installation, high degree of construction mechanization, short construction period. During the construction, it is not necessary to support the mold and remove the mold, thus reducing the cost and greatly accelerating the construction progress. It creates conditions for reducing cost and comprehensive economic benefits.

Good seismic performance

Steel has high pit tensile and compressive strength and better plasticity and toughness, so in the past earthquakes at home and abroad, steel structure is the damage of the lightest structure, has been recognized as the seismic fortification area especially the most suitable structure in the strong earthquake area.

What are the applications of steel pipes in structure engineering?

The application of steel tube structure first started in Britain, and then in the 1980s, people had a deeper understanding of steel tube structure design, and there were some formal publications about steel tube. Steel pipe structure has been widely used not only in ocean engineering and bridge engineering, but also in industrial and civil buildings. In recent years, with the development of large public buildings, the space and span of the structure are more and more demanding. Because of its beautiful appearance, reasonable stress characteristics and superior economy, steel pipe structure has been widely used in modern industrial plants, warehouses, gymnasiums, exhibition halls, conference halls, terminals, stations and office buildings, commercial and residential buildings, hotels and other buildings.
