How to choose the proper steel pipe in scaffolding

As a rule, steel pipe quality can also be reflected in the price positioning concerning different steel pipes. By and large, steel pipe prices will depend on its pipe materials, pipe sizes and some other factors, including production costs, economy policies and etc. As 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.

Generally speaking, scaffolding materials are usually selected based on the specific type of project under construction in life. 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 a galvanized pipe, you can avoid the cost of maintaining and replacing corroded pipes. With galvanized steel pipe, your pipes can last a lot longer than a non galvanized one, which will save you a lot of money in the project.

Cold rolled steel pipe is also widely used in scaffolding today. Tianjin cold rolled steel pipe has an improved surface finish and tighter tolerances in the current steel pipe market. Today, with the further development of technology in the iron and steel industry, there is also another finishing between hot rolling process and cold rolling process, Pickled and Oiled. By being pickled in acid and oiled, the mill scale on the hot rolled steel can be removed and protect it from rusting. In addition, the 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.

Scaffolding pipes used as structural steel pipes is important part of scaffolding in practical applications. How to select appropriate pipe materials for scaffolding somewhat seems very necessary for users in the construction activities. As we all know, scaffolding offers a safer and more comfortable work arrangement compared to leaning over edges, stretching overhead and working from ladders. To some extent, properly erected and maintained, scaffolding provides workers safe access to work locations, level and stable working platforms and temporary storage for tools and materials for performing immediate tasks in life.
