How to store square and rectangular tubes?

Square tubes and rectangular tubes are susceptible to corrosion during storage, which will not only affect their service life but also have a negative impact on their performance. Therefore, in order to ensure the long-term use of square and rectangular pipes, we need to take some measures to prevent corrosion.

1. Control the storage environment

The warehouse where square and rectangular pipes are stored should be selected based on geographical conditions. Square and rectangular pipes should be stored in a dry, well-ventilated place that avoids direct sunlight. The requirements for moisture-proof, shock-proof, and anti-corrosion are very high. Avoid contact with corrosive gases to prevent chemical corrosion. At the same time, the temperature and humidity of the storage environment should also be moderate to avoid corrosion of the metal surface caused by too high temperature or too low humidity.

2. Classified storage
Square and rectangular tubes of different specifications and materials should be stored separately to avoid contact with each other or mixing to avoid electrochemical corrosion. At the same time, the square rectangular pipe should be properly supported during storage to avoid direct contact with the ground to avoid moisture and contamination on the ground.

3. Stacking method
Low-specification, small-quantity square and rectangular tubes can be stacked directly in single pieces or in layers according to specifications. When entering and exiting in batches, the products with the upper product number and serial number must be taken first, first in, first out.

4. Regular inspection and maintenance

Regular inspection and maintenance of square rectangular pipes is also one of the important measures to prevent corrosion. You can regularly conduct visual inspections of square rectangular pipes to see if there are any rust, scratches, pits, etc., and handle and repair them in a timely manner. At the same time, for square and rectangular pipes stored for a long time, coating maintenance and maintenance should be carried out regularly to ensure their corrosion resistance.
