Features of Selecting Elements
Information about each material, its pros and cons, can be found on the internet. Since elements can be round, square, rectangular, or oval, you need to know for which cases it is preferable to use a round cross-section, and where it is better to choose a different shape.
A round pipe is ideally suited for transmitting liquid or gas through it, as no obstacles are created for them. However, it has low strength if used as a support.
A profile part, that is, one having a shape other than cylindrical, withstands greater loads and mates with flat surfaces. This allows expanding the scope of application to the point where such elements can be used to build a multi-story house.
A similar structure using wooden beams would have a shorter service life, lower reliability, and higher requirements for log processing. The available sizes of profile pipes allow them to be connected in such a way as to obtain a strong frame. A round element is not suitable in this case, as it has a lower margin of safety against fracture and deflection.
Comparing the price of profile pipes in Kyiv, it can be said that this is also the right decision economically. Creating a cavity inside lightened the product by 25%, and using less metal also reduced its cost.
The price of the product is also affected by the degree of its protection. If the structure is to be located in a damp room or outdoors, then to ensure it lasts its intended service life, it is necessary to take care of anti-corrosion treatment. Then the steel pipe, after being given the desired shape, is galvanized.
Working with a Pipe
Creating a project using a profile element allows you to quickly erect the desired structure without unnecessary effort. This is achieved through a well-thought-out system of connecting parts to each other, precise compliance of the part with GOST standards, as well as the parameters of the product itself.
The weight of one element is 10-15 kg, which allows one person to move it around the construction site and connect two or three parts together without additional help.
