Steel Pipes & Tubes
SPECIFICATION
Purpose: Provides a versatile framework for scaffolding, formwork support, shoring for slabs, beams, columns, and other structural elements in construction.
Material: Made of high-strength steel, often galvanized or coated to resist corrosion and enhance durability.
Versatility: Modular components enable varied configurations to meet different project requirements.
Connectors: Includes various couplers, such as swivel and right-angle couplers, clamps, and base plates, to create stable structures.
Components of the Pipes System:
- Steel Pipes: Primary structural elements, available in multiple lengths and standardized diameter (usually 48.3 mm) for load-bearing.
- Couplers and Clamps: Swivel couplers for angled connections, right-angle couplers for 90-degree joins, sleeve couplers for extensions, and base plates for load distribution.
- Base Jacks: Adjustable jacks for leveling on uneven ground.
- U-Heads and Prop Heads: Top components for supporting beams and other horizontal elements.
Technical Specifications:
- Material: High-tensile, corrosion-resistant steel.
- Diameter: Standard 48.3 mm, with thickness ranging from 2.5 mm to 4 mm.
- Length: Standard lengths range from 0.5 m to 6 m, with custom lengths available.
- Load Capacity: Supports heavy loads, depending on diameter, thickness, and coupler configuration.
- Surface Finish: Galvanized for rust and corrosion protection.
Advantages:
- High Load Capacity: Suitable for supporting heavy loads in formwork, scaffolding, and other construction applications.
- Adaptability: Modular design enables flexible configurations for diverse structural needs.
- Ease of Assembly: Quick connections with clamps and couplers.
- Durability: Galvanized steel enhances longevity and corrosion resistance.
- Reusable: Cost-effective due to reusability across multiple projects.
Applications:
- Scaffolding: Provides safe access platforms for work at height.
- Shoring: Supports slabs, beams, and other structural elements.
- Formwork Support: Vertical supports for wall, column, and slab formwork.
- Bracing: Enhances lateral stability in scaffolding with swivel couplers.
