Pipes

Currently, the profile products are very popular in almost all areas. So, for example, the oval pipe 30x15 is often used in the manufacture of various equipment.

This material allows you to solve any very complex tasks.

Basic properties

Oval steel pipes belong to the profile products of metal. They have the shape of an ellipse, which is welded with a straight or spiral seam. About all the features of this material we will talk further.

Merits

First we will reveal the key benefits that they own.

It is worth noting that there are quite a lot of them:

High physical strength. They are able to withstand severe mechanical loads without any risks.

Interesting: in comparison with round samples, they weigh 20-30% less, with equal linear data.

Easy assembly and installation. Even an inexperienced person in such matters can easily do the work with his own hands.

Paying attention to this photo, you can see how rich the assortment

Profile oval pipes have absolute corrosion resistance.. In addition, they are not at all afraid of other aggressive media.
Good heat conductivity.

Interesting: such products are very fond of designers and furniture manufacturers for their attractive appearance.

Tightness the result is an absolute obstruction for gaseous substances.
Attractive appearance. Therefore, many designers use this material to create unusual elements for furniture or interior.
High assembly speed. In the production of certain goods, this aspect has a significant value. Therefore, the most thoughtful entrepreneurs apply such material.
Relatively light weight. In this aspect, the oval aluminum tube looks most advantageous. With it, you can create a very light and at the same time durable construction.
Durability - Most manufacturers give a guarantee in half a century.

This technology allows to manufacture pipes of various shapes.

As you can see, there are a lot of advantages, which is why they are in great demand in many areas.

disadvantages

Unfortunately, any, even the most enviable medal has its reverse side. In this case, this trend continues.

To have a holistic opinion about a particular product, you just need to know about its shortcomings:

The first and most important drawback is the relatively high price. Today in the building stores you can find a lot of materials that have a lower cost, while possessing quite good technical characteristics.

Note! At the same time, it can be noted that this is far from the most expensive option presented today.

Another equally important disadvantage is the complexity of the connection, using various pipe fittings or by soldering. This is due to the shape of the ellipse. For this reason, they are practically not used in the laying of plumbing lines.

Here are the main characteristic dimensions that should be procured

You may notice that the negative properties are much smaller.

Scope of application

We have already spoken about the wide popularity of such material. Therefore, our instructions will tell you about the main areas in which it is used.

Priority areas are such industries as:

Instrument making.
Design. Quite often, when creating the interior using such products.
Automotive (especially when creating radiators).
Production of furniture and various commercial equipment. Most often used as decorative items.
Chemical (especially for the transport of various substances). Here hermetic properties come to the fore.

Heat-treated products are sold to the final buyer. This measure gives an improvement in technical characteristics. The most popular model is 08x18h10.

Such models have an attractive appearance, thanks to which they are widely recognized in the manufacture of furniture

Some of GOST

All products can be divided into two groups: with the regulation of physical or with the regulation of physical and chemical properties. Of course, the second group is of the highest quality, because chemical rationing gives a higher resistance to various stimuli (temperature changes, acids, etc.).

According to GOST 13663-86 there is a division into groups according to the method of production:

Using electric welding.
Electrowelded tubular products that have undergone cold deformation procedures.
Hot rolled without seams.
Cold-formed without seams.

Any specialist, before purchasing a product, first learns all its technical indicators.

We understand this and that is why we will provide you with such useful information about the mechanical properties of the products described by us:

The yield strength is 220 MPa.
Relative lengthening - 13-15%.
Tear resistance - 310-450 MPa (depending on steel grade).

The most popular sizes today are 40x20 mm and 30x15 mm. However, in the shops you can find many others. Moreover, the production technology allows to produce samples "to order".

Perfectly smooth texture contributes to the durability of the coating, so for many years it does not change its original appearance

In conclusion

Now you know what an oval tube is, but if you did not manage to comprehend all the subtleties, then do not be discouraged. We made sure that you get the maximum range of knowledge. In the presented video in this article you will find additional information on this topic, which will allow to understand all the nuances.
