Galvanized steel pipe used in scaffolding pipe

In various construction activities, scaffolding pipe is considered very important component of galvanized steel pipe in any project because steel scaffolding has great strength and durability. At the same time it has a certain amount of elasticity which helps prevent cracks. Steel pipe used in scaffolding can support very heavy loads, and workers can use it to transport heavy equipment and supplies. For some tall structures, steel is a necessity as the weight of the scaffolding itself requires structural strength that only steel can provide. For less demanding conditions, aluminum scaffolding can be a viable alternative.

In the current steel pipe market, square steel pipe and round steel pipe are frequently used for scaffolding as per different application purposes. As there are certain difference in the strength of scaffolding materials and loading capacity of each proprietary scaffold system, it seems necessary for users to select appropriate scaffolding tube/pipe in the practical applications. In addition, hot dipped galvanized steel pipe and black steel pipe are the two common types of pipes used for scaffolding tube/pipe in construction trade. In addition, most of tubes, couplers and fittings should comply with BS 1139, BS EN 39, BS EN 74, BS EN 1004 and BS EN 12810 or other equivalent national/international standards or provisions. Or, the scaffold should be designed by bespoke calculation, by a competent person, to ensure it will have adequate strength, rigidity and stability while it is erected, used and dismantled.

Round steel pipe is the most used for scaffolding among other common types of pipe in the actual applications. As a rule, steel pipe scaffolding erection sequence is: put sweeping bar (close to the ground of the ledger, height of 20 cm) and by the root set upright, then to sweep the floor and rod fastening of the small bar and rod or sweep the floor and rod fastening, the first step of ledger (with the vertical pole fastening) – Ann first step putlog – the second step of ledger Ann – adding temporary inclined strut (upper main rail fastening, and the second step in installing two wall behind the bar can be dismantled) – the third step, four main rail and putlog to wall rod with Ann, Ann, put the stud – added a bracing – scaffolding plank. In some cases, because the steel tube tends towards somewhat corrosion in the external environment, there are certain requirements of surface treatment for pipe protection. As a result, you should pay much attention to the pipe scaffolding, for it will affect the later work somewhat. In the steel pipe market, hot dipped galvanized steel pipe is often the top choice for scaffolding pipe because of its good anti-corrosion in service over time.
