Structural Pipe

Most people don\'t even notice structural tubing, but it is an integral part of everyday life for many people. This sturdy alternative to solid steel is used in an impressive array of industries and products, from shopping carts to hand rails to truck bumpers. These pipes come in many shapes and metals, all intended to serve a unique function. Without this helpful metal piping, the shape of the world\'s products would be much different.

Structural tubing is a hollow pipe commonly constructed of steel. Manufacturers purchase hot rolled metal coils from mills in order to form the various shapes needed for structural pipe. The coils are cut into the proper size and then folded into the shape needed for the pipe. The next step involves welding the two sides together to make a single, strong piece of tubing. Many structural pipes are finished with a variety of chemicals to protect against natural and unnatural elements.

Structural tubing also can be made from materials other than steel. Aluminum, carbon, alloy and brass are all options that are useful for specific reasons. Aluminum and carbon provide lightweight strength, alloys often are highly resistant to the elements, and brass is popular for plumbing because of its longevity.
