What is a rectangle tube used for?

Steel rectangular tube is a material with rich uses and wide applications, and is used in many fields such as construction, transportation, machinery, and electricity. Compared with angle steel or channel steel, its box-shaped structure has greater strength and stiffness. Choosing rectangular tube as material can improve the stability, durability and service life of the equipment.

1. Construction field

Rectangular tubes are widely used in the construction field, such as building structural supports, house trusses, roof beams, steel structural frames, etc. Rectangular tubes are characterized by their tough texture, stable structure, and ability to withstand heavy weights. Therefore, in the field of construction, the use of rectangular tubes can not only ensure the strength and stability of the building structure, but also improve the load-bearing capacity and service life of the building.

2. Transportation field
In the field of transportation, rectangular tubes can be used to manufacture brackets or beams in bridges, tunnels and other projects, and can also be used in stations, overpasses, highway guardrails, etc. Rectangular pipes have good corrosion resistance and high strength. Therefore, choosing rectangular pipes as materials for traffic engineering on coastlines and humid areas can ensure their service life.

3. Mechanical field
Rectangular tubes are also an indispensable material in the mechanical field. They can be used in the manufacturing of machine tools, heavy equipment, ships, aerospace, high-pressure vessels and other fields. The advantage of the rectangular tube is that it has high strength and hardness and can withstand huge pressure and weight, so it is very suitable for use in the mechanical field.

4. Electric power field

Rectangular tubes can be used as towers for power transmission lines, substation equipment supports, etc. in the electric power field. Rectangular tubes have good electrical insulation properties and high mechanical strength, so the use of rectangular tubes in the power field can ensure the stability of power equipment and power supply quality.

Tips: ASTM A500 is a standard specification for seamless and weldable carbon structural steel published by ASTM International. ASTM A500 rectangular tube is a rectangular steel pipe that can be welded, riveted, or bolted for use in bridges or buildings and general structures.
