A structural steel tube is a hollow cylinder of steel. It is made of high-quality carbon or alloy steels that can be produced with excellent surface quality. First, the material is heated to the appropriate temperature and rolled into a tube shape. Next, the steel is cooled to room temperature and cut into the desired length with shearing machines.
Designed to withstand high loads, it’s thicker and stronger than regular steel and used in various projects: building frames, bridges, skyscrapers, ships and other steel structures in India. In addition to their use in construction projects, structural pipes are also used as an architectural detail in buildings or between floors as an internal support structure for buildings. The characteristics of Tata tubes include:
- High strength: Structural steel has high tensile strength and ductility, which allows it to withstand heavy loads and forces. This makes it ideal for use as support structures and frames in buildings.
- Long life: Structural steel has a long working life compared to other building materials because it does not rust easily, which makes it more durable than wood or concrete.
- Highly versatile: Hollow steel pipes can be bent into different shapes such as angles, channels, beams, bars and rods to meet various needs for building construction.
- Low cost: Compared with other building materials, structural steel is relatively cheaper, which makes it affordable for most people who want to build a house or structure at home or office premises.
Tata Structural steel tubes come in several different shapes and sizes. The most common types include:
Round Tubes
Round structural steel tubes are heat treated, rolled shape of steel. These tubes are used to fabricate structural beams and columns and machine parts such as crankshafts and connecting rods. A round tube can range from 1/8″ to 48″ in diameter or larger.
There are two types of round tubes: seamless and welded. Seamless round tubes are made using continuous hot-rolled steel stock that is not cut or welded during the manufacturing process; welded tubes are produced through the rolling process and then joined by welding at the seam. Both seamless and welded structural steel tubes are available with various finishes, including polished, painted, galvanized, phosphate coated, and combinations of these treatments.
A 1/2″ diameter tube is the most common size for lightweight applications such as machinery supports or frames for workbenches. For added strength in high-stress areas such as columns, double-walled tubes can be used with no reduction in wall thicknesses, provided that the outside diameter is increased accordingly.
Round tubes are used for applications where high strength-to-weight ratios are required, such as aircraft landing gear legs, axles, crankshafts and transmission shafts, because they have less weight per unit volume than rectangular tubes. This means less weight for a given size bearing surface area which helps prevent overloading during the operation of machines and vehicles using round tubes for their load bearing.
Square Tubes
Tata square pipes are primarily used in building construction because they are solid yet lightweight and easy to install. The square tube can be bent easily into different shapes without affecting its overall strength compared to round tubes, which tend to lose their strength when bent into sharp corners. Square tubes can be used as columns, beams, arches, and floor joists since they are stronger than flat bars or channels (rectangular) but lighter than rolled sections (circular).
Rectangular Tubes
Rectangular tubing is quite similar to square tubes except that it has four flat sides instead of the two curved sides found in square tubes. The strength of the rectangular tube comes from its shape, which enables its flat sides to be placed against one another and welded to form a complete pipe. This prevents the material from being bent out of shape and causing a weak point in the final product.
A rectangular tube is also very easy to work with because it can be cut and shaped using a wide range of tools, including a hacksaw, grinder, or torch. These tubes can be used for many things because of their resilience and versatility. It is frequently used for making structural supports in vehicles and boats, but it can even be used for decorative purposes such as furniture legs or railings.
