Why Choose Special-shaped Piping?
The aesthetics of the pipe might be important to a project at times. However, for building applications, strength and long-term durability are crucial factors. Profiled tubes have advantages in terms of ergonomics and safety over traditional round tubes, such as being more comfortable and simpler to hold.
Scientific “tube deformation tests” have demonstrated that profiled stainless steel tubes manufactured from regular round tubes are less prone to bending than round tubes. According to the shape, profiled tubes’ strength is also boosted by 20 to 54%. This is crucial for infrastructure applications that frequently need extremely durable guardrails and barriers for protection. Airport luggage kick rails, sign poles, window coverings, bollards, and decorative shrouds are just a few of the infrastructural items made from distinctive-shaped tubes.
Materials for Special-Shaped Pipes
The majority of the tube profiles used by our business are constructed of premium stainless steel. For more than 80 years, stainless steel has been a go-to material for accentuating avant-garde modern architectural styles. The majority of our architectural tubing is constructed of stainless steel 304L and 316L, which are incredibly strong, ductile, and versatile.
Additionally resistant to corrosion, stainless steel is hygienic and simple to maintain. Due to its ability to be completely recycled at the end of its useful life, it is also a very sustainable material.
Our stainless steel tubes, on the other hand, come in a range of finishes, including a gorgeous polished mirror finish and a brushed matte surface
that successfully conceals fingerprints and flaws. Even a woodgrain look can be achieved by powder-coating stainless steel.
304L stainless steel
This alloy is ideal for aesthetic and structural uses since it offers lots of strength without sacrificing a lot of maneuverability.
This alloy, also known as marine-grade stainless steel, is perfect for maritime architecture and other outside applications since it has a greater nickel and molybdenum content for better corrosion resistance.
Duplex/Super duplex
If the stainless steel tube will be utilized in subsea circumstances, we can also manufacture it from duplex and super duplex stainless steel. Many of the advantages of austenitic and ferritic stainless steel are shared by duplex stainless steel grades.
Benefits of Using Special-shaped Stainless Steel
Shaped stainless steel tubes are offered in a variety of shapes, including oval, triangular, hexagonal, and spiral in addition to cylinder, square, and rectangular forms. They are typically constructed of 304 or 316-grade steel, which is suitable for welding due to its resilience to heat and corrosion. The molybdenum and chromium-containing 316-grade steel is superior to 304-grade steel in terms of corrosion resistance and temperature resistance.
Aspects of quality include its great resistance to high temperatures, pitting, and stress corrosion cracking caused by air corrosion assault.
Maintenance-free: It has a long intrinsic life, a small increase in initial investment, and good aesthetics.
Outstanding performance: When used with concrete, profiled stainless steel tubing increases project life and lowers maintenance expenses.
Surface: Textured finish that resists wear. appealing to the eye and scratch-resistant.
Versatile: can be used for railings, balconies, lifts and escalators, bridges, structural beams, fittings, concrete reinforcement, and HVAC systems.
