Pay attention to your structural steel pipe in scaffolding

Considering that there are differences in the strength of scaffolding materials and loading capacity of each proprietary scaffold system, it seems necessary for users to select appropriate structural steel pipes based on the practical applications in life.

In the modern construction projects, structural steel pipe has been widely used for building materials for many years. As it is well acknowledged, steel is very flexible, and easy to modify and customize according to your personal preference. It also has this natural beauty praised by many architects which makes them more excited to work with steel compared to other materials. Frame scaffolding is the most common types of scaffolds used in the construction site. In the current steel pipe market, pre galvanized steel pipe and hot dipped galvanized are two major types of scaffolding steel pipe considered popular a lot among many users today. The galvanization process protects the steel from rusting damage that can occur during transportation, installation and service. The zinc layer on the surface of pipe can form a barrier protection for steel products to extend the service life in applications. If you choose galvanized steel pipe, you can avoid the cost of maintaining and replacing corroded pipes. Furthermore, you will save a lot of money in the project.

As a rule, each project is judged on its use of structural steel from both an architectural and structural engineering perspective. Since steel buildings are more than just a lower costing option, there are a couple of practical considerations before you want to choose structural steel pipe as one of the building materials for your project. In scaffolding applications, cold rolled steel pipes are widely used because they are very flexible, and also easy to modify and customize according to the personal preference. Its natural beauty is always praised by many architects, for it is easy to expose the building’s beauty in a design that will emphasize its grace, strength, transparency, and slenderness. In addition, cold rolled steel pipe is more precise dimensionally than a hot rolled product that created by hot rolling process, because the cold rolled steel has already gone through the cooling process, which help it closer to the finished dimension while the hot rolled steel forms the finished product looser tolerances than the original material.
