Why are hollow section tubes so popular today

China hollow section tubes are very popular today, which have been part of our society in the modern times. Compared to other traditional construction materials, hollow section tubes are stronger because they are further enhanced by steel reinforcing process. The increase in the standard strength is greater than the total strength of other competing highly strong materials.

In practical applications, round steel pipe and square steel pipe are often seen as one of important building materials in the construction trade. When it comes to construction projects, steel tubes are used in many building types from small storage units to skyscrapers in big cities. For example, they are used to create the foundation of large buildings as well as other framework. Today, China hollow section tubes also offer advantages of corrosion protection in applications. Some hollow sections have rounded corners resulting in a better protection than that with sharp corners. This is especially true for the joints in circular hollow sections where there is a smooth transition from one section to another. Meanwhile, this better protection increases the protection period of coatings against corrosion. 

Hot dipped galvanized steel pipe has been considered popular a lot among many users today. For one thing, 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. For the other thing, this layer is also resistant to wear and scratch, which makes the steel look more attractive. In the current steel pipe market, hot dipped galvanized steel pipes have been widely used as one kind of building materials in the frame scaffolding for many years due to its strength and stability in use.

Rectangular steel pipe is one popular hollow section tubes in the current steel pipe market. Torsional strength makes rectangular steel pipe an excellent choice for bearing resistant and consistent. Rectangular steel pipe is fire resistant and does not warp, twist, split, swell or shrink. It resists dry rot and mildew, termites and carpenter ants. For increased fire resistance, the exterior of the product may be sprayed with a fire retardant material. In addition, rectangular steel pipe can be readily bent, formed, punched, and drilled. New and improved methods to fasten rectangular steel pipe to itself or to other materials are making its use simpler and fabrication faster.
