How to properly use galvanized steel pipe in scaffolding

Generally speaking, scaffolding materials are usually selected based on the specific type of project under construction in life. Scaffolding tube is the most used part of scaffolding, for it has great strength, durability as well as a certain amount of elasticity which helps to prevent cracks. In the current steel pipe market, there are various types of galvanized steel pipe for you to use in scaffolding. Nevertheless, it is always important for you to use the proper type of steel products in projects.

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 products as one of the building materials for your project. Considering 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 pipes based on the practical applications in life. 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.

In the actual procurement, some customers tend towards certain strict requirements for the quality assurance of the pipe, for even minor corrosion requires repairs and maintenance. In the pipe processing, steel pipe manufacturers in China will generally make a specific treatment for pipe in advance as per different requirements of customers. 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 cold rolled steel pipe 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.
