Profile pipe 25 to 25 - features and purpose

In the manufacture of various metal structures are often used shaped pipes, which is associated with many of their positive qualities. This material includes the 25x25 mm profile tube, which will be discussed in this article. In particular, below we will get acquainted with its features, characteristics and areas of application.

Special features

Recently, profile pipes have become an increasingly popular building material, respectively, the market demand for them is growing all the time. And this is especially true of the square profile, which is associated with their high bending strength.

To make it easier to imagine the merits of such a form, you should try to bend an ordinary student's ruler, putting it on the edge - you will not be able to do it. In the case of a square tube, two of its walls prevent bending at once. Therefore, compared with standard round tubular products, this material has much greater strength.

Due to this quality of the profile, its use can significantly reduce the weight of metal structures, since it is possible to achieve the required strength with significantly less use of metal. In other words, the hollow profile with a cross section of 25 by 25 mm is practically not inferior in strength to a solid metal rod of the same section.

It must be said that it is not always in the design that the same load is applied to all the material walls. In practice, it happens that a much greater force acts on one side.

In this case, it is better to use rectangular tube products. For example, a profile pipe 50 to 25 mm with one side can withstand twice the load than the other.

Merits

In addition to the qualities described above, a square tube of 25x25 mm has many other advantages, as compared with round analogues:

• Due to the convenience of form, simplified loading and transportation of material.
• A flat surface is much easier to weld than a round one.
• Convenience laying on flat surfaces, so the products are often used as cable channels, laid on horizontal planes.
• Price lower than solid metal rods.
• Products are resistant to temperature extremes.
• Resistance to high static loads.

Thus, this product is an excellent structural material.

disadvantages

Since there are no perfect materials, a 25 by 25 mm pipe also has some drawbacks:

• Susceptibility to corrosion, which is characteristic of all steel products.
• Installation is carried out only by welding., as the shape of the cross section does not allow the use of a threaded connection.
• It's hard to bend with your hands., what may be required in the manufacture of some parts of the structure.

Tip! To bend a profile pipe, you need to use a special tool, a pipe bender, which you can purchase or make yourself. Instructions for the manufacture of this tool is available on our portal.

The rest of the product has no negative qualities.

Production features

Many of the performance properties of this product depend on the method of its production. Today, there are two ways of manufacturing:

Rolled products are more durable, because they do not have a seam, besides their walls are thicker, however, their weight is also greater. Therefore, the choice depends on the tasks that are put before the material.

Specifications

All parameters of the profile products can be divided into two types:

Characteristics and range of square pipes are governed by GOST 8639-82. Therefore, if you need to know the parameters of a particular type of product, you can refer to this document.

Application area

Since the profile in question has a small cross section, it is most often used for household needs.

In particular, used in the manufacture of the following structures:

• Arbors;
• Fences and fences;
• Ladders;
• Greenhouses, etc.

Tip! If corrosion resistance is required of the material, galvanized pipes can be used.

In addition, these pipes are used as fittings, which provides some savings in construction, as well as in the manufacture of furniture and in a number of other areas.

Here, perhaps, all the main points that you can tell about this product.

Conclusion

The pipe section of 25x25 mm has many positive properties, thanks to which it has established itself as a durable and inexpensive structural material. As a result, its scope is very extensive.
