Rectangular tubes commonly used in construction sites and their uses

What is a rectangular tube?

Rectangular steel tube, also called rectangular tube, has a rectangular shape and is a hollow steel tube. Common specifications include 20*40, 30*50, 40*60, 50*80 and other sizes. Rectangular steel tubes have the advantages of light weight, high strength, and corrosion resistance, and are widely used in construction, machinery manufacturing, automobile industry and other fields. The commonly used standard for rectangular tubes is ASTM A500.

Rectangular tubes commonly used in construction sites:
Rectangular tubes are a commonly used building material on construction sites. Common ones include the following:
1. Rectangular tubes in building support systems: Rectangular tubes are used to support building structures. At construction sites, steel beams and concrete slabs often need to be supported, which requires a stable support system. As one of the important components, rectangular tubes play an important supporting role.
2. Rectangular tubes during arch construction: During arch construction, rectangular tubes are usually used as frames to support the entire building structure.

3. Support rectangular tubes for building walls: During the construction of building walls, rectangular tubes need to be used to support formwork and scaffolding to ensure the stability and safety of the building.

Other uses for rectangular tubes:
In addition to their use on construction sites, rectangular pipes have other uses:
1. Machinery manufacturing: Rectangular steel pipes are used to manufacture parts for machine tools, tools, vehicles and construction machinery, such as bridge structures, trolleybuses, highway guardrails, etc.
2. Furniture manufacturing: It can be made into various styles of tables, chairs, bookcases, wardrobes and other furniture.
3. Home decoration: can be used to make decorative materials for walls and ceilings.
4. Building structure: Rectangular tubes can be made into various forms of steel frames, steel trusses, steel beams and other structural parts, which are used to build large industrial plants, commercial buildings and civil buildings.
5. Transportation: Rectangular tubes can be used to build foundations and support structures in highways, bridges, tunnels and other projects, as well as support components for buildings such as stations and docks.

Conclusion:

Rectangular tube is a commonly used building material, widely used in the support and fixation of building structures. In construction sites, rectangular tubes are used in building support systems, arch construction, building walls, etc. In addition, rectangular tubes are also widely used in fields such as machinery manufacturing and furniture manufacturing.
