The Far-Reaching Range of Tectron Tubing



When you think of steel tubing and the places you may find it, you are most likely thinking of the scaffolding in construction sites, factory settings where everything is metal or even tractor components and other agricultural equipment. However, the place you most likely didn’t think about is probably beneath you right now as you waste time on your company computer.

Tectron Tubing has innumerable amounts of applications in today’s world. From the more mainstream options that are stated above, to the office furniture populating the sea of cubicles across the country and the lawn mower sitting in your garage, it’s everywhere! Even as we speak there are more and more products being produced with Tectron Tubing material. It’s not going anywhere and that’s very important, not just for consumers, but for manufacturers as well. 

 

Okay, Tectron Tubing is everywhere. So what? Believe it or not, steel tubing hasn’t been around that long. Steel tubing by our ‘modern’ standards didn’t appear until around the early 1800’s. So think, in less than 200 years, these pieces of metal have gone from being in nothing to being used in an insane amount of products that a large percentage of the population of America has used at least once in their lives. Just imagine the popularity and amount of uses of tubing that is this versatile after another 200 years.

At Ohio Galvanized Tube, we have been supplying the Midwest for over 20 years with high quality products in tubing and piping. We carry Tectron Tube A513 Mechanical Steel Tubing so that no matter the project you are working on you can have something that’s versatile and ready to handle whatever you fabricate it into.

Basic Welding Joints

Welded joints are one of the most commonly seen joints although there is much more that goes into them than most realize. A Weld Joint is characterized by being the place where two or more metal pieces are joined together through the introduction of melted solder and high heat. There are 5 types of weld joints, corner, lap, tee, edge, and butt. Each one has it's own unique qualities and the best places to implement.  The butt joint is formed by placing the ends of two parts together. The two parts either lie on the same plane or are side by side. It is the most simple type of weld joint. There are a few different types of welds involved with a good butt joint. Next, let's focus a little on the corner joint. The corner joint is another pretty basic option for beginners and looks exactly how it sounds. This joint is identified by the two welded pieces being joined together in the shape of an L. It is important to remember to weld both the front and back of the L shape for struc...

Steel Tubing's Influence on Construction

 As we've covered before, there are thousands of applications for steel tubing products in just about every corner of the world and in a huge amount of different industries. One of those industries is in the construction of new buildings, far and wide, for a ton of different uses, like apartments, office space or governmental decision-making. Most of these buildings will likely be built with the help of scaffolding which is made with an array of steel tubing parts. Let's take a look at why scaffolding is so important and how steel tubing is an important part of the construction industry as we know it!  Safety: Scaffolding is important for ensuring the safety of the workers that are contracted to construct a new building. These structures help create a flat surface for workers to stand on while they work and also allow more than one person at a time to be working in a similar area or site. The creation of handrails on the top platforms for scaffolding also helps ensure worker s...
