Ohio Galvanized Tube

Unless you are a metal enthusiast, you may not know all there is to know about metal and its properties. From carbon steel to cast iron to stainless steel, there are several materials to choose from when it comes to tubing for hydraulic, pneumatic, or other industrial projects. Here are 5 facts you might not know about stainless steel tubing. Cost-Effectiveness: One of the most appealing benefits of using stainless steel tubes is its cost! It costs less to maintain and can save you money over time because of their long service life. Welding Capabilities: Certain stainless steel is heat treatable. This can be helpful when stainless steel tubes need to be modified to achieve certain physical or chemical properties. Certain stainless steel sheets can also be easily welded into various shapes and sizes. Resistance: Thanks to its properties, stainless steel tubing offers significantly more resistance to corrosive elements, oxidation, erosion, and high temperatures than most other metal t...

 We've talked about many different applications of steel pipe on this blog, from greenhouses to solar panel racks to field goal posts. However, there are still many others that we have not touched on. For example, one application that we have not discussed, even though it is quite possibly one of the most popular, is the use of steel pipe in conveyor systems in manufacturing, production or distribution fields.  Although many of us may never work on or near a conveyor belt, you can not underestimate the importance of this invention in our modern society. They have increased productivity in factories dramatically, created a way to transport goods across work areas, no matter the size of the production floor, and they have also helped workers in distribution separate products so that they only go to specific areas. Conveyors have also crept into our personal lives, as well, in the form of luggage check or security in airports or at checkout of your local grocery store. So what d...
