Steel pipe - Definition and application of steel pipes.

Steel pipe, also known as hollow section, is a general term for tubular steel sections of various cross-sections. Pipes come in concentric, rectangular, oval or other closed sections. The walls of a steel pipe are made of different types of steel with different qualities of steel.

Steel pipes of different diameters are used for the passage of liquid, gaseous or solid substances. They can also be used as reinforcing, static or structural elements in a wide range of industrial or commercial structures for outdoor and indoor use, such as fences, railings, protective barriers, canopies, trade stands, displays, frames, scaffolding, road and fence markings, garden decorations, cabinets, stairs, terraces, balconies, outdoor advertising, exhibition and trade stands, as well as in the design of recreational and wellness areas. A special design idea is the use of steel pipes for the construction of modern furniture, such as shelves, tables, chairs, benches or recliners.

Types of steel pipes

Due to the variety of applications, steel pipes are available in different diameters and wall thicknesses: from the millimeter range to several meters. Depending on the manufacturing process, steel pipes are differentiated into:

• seamless steel pipes, which are produced in rolling mills by hot rolling and subsequent processing steps. These pipes have a smooth surface without welding seams.
• longitudinally welded steel pipes, which are formed into a pipe body from steel strips (strip steel), wide strip (coil), steel plate, etc. The edges of the strip are then welded longitudinally to form a closed steel pipe, forming a characteristic welding seam.
• Spiral-welded steel pipes that are spirally rolled from steel strips, formed and properly spiral-welded on the edges of the strips to form a closed pipe body.

Klemp galvanized steel pipes - good value for money

To protect steel pipes from corrosion, they are subjected to various coating processes, such as hot-dip galvanizing, powder coating or wet or powder coating.

Klemps steel pipes are subjected to the hot-dip galvanizing process, which consists of several steps. After pre-treatment, the pipes are immersed in a bath of molten zinc. At the end of the process, a zinc alloy of 50 - 150 µm thickness is formed on the surface. This gives the steel pipes a particularly strong protective layer and extensive corrosion protection with a service life of 50 years.
