Hollow sections are a special types of steel which has high usage in construction and building fields. When we talk about hollow section, it is a type of metal tube that have a hole in the middle like straw or something similar. The tubes/ pipes can be of round, square or rectangular shape. Their distinct shape and structure make them perfect for use in various construction projects.
Hollow section material is steel, and we all know that steel is one of the strongest and most durable materials around. So, steel is good for construction purpose as it can be bound for a long time without degrading. One of the greatest aspects of steel being that it is malleable to many forms and designs. This allows builders to build anything using steel in coils. Hollow sections are integral to supporting the rest of the building and providing stability, strength which is vital for safety.
Hollow sections are excellent construction materials for sufficient number of reasons. One of the bigger benefits is their low weight. What this means is, you can shift them around with ease and set it up in minutes. When the materials are lightweight, construction workers can save on labor costs and time as they can be transported with ease and assembled quicker.
One of the best features of coil of steel is that they are really strong and tenacious. They are strong enough to bear higher weights and could also deal with the harsh weather, whether high wind or rain. This makes them perfect for constructing key infrastructure things like bridges, skyscrapers and communication towers. You can rely on hollow sections to help these structures stay standing (and standing safe too).
Another benefit of using hollow sections is that they do not incur extra costs in construction. Builders use less material than with other types of construction materials because they are both lightweight and tough. Less material required means overall construction costs can be lower, making it economical for all.
Multiple welding techniques can be adopted for joining hollow sections together. One of the most widely used techniques is known as arc welding. Electric arc is used to melt the metal and fuse the components using this method. Due to the high strength and reliability of this method, it is a common welding process.
One of the techniques that are highly used is gas welding. Gas welding method utilizes flame to heat the metal and then cause it to melt and join parts together. Welding in all cases is an important method by which we ensure the load-carrying members will provide the necessary circumferential and longitudinal stability to hold hollow sections together while providing these connections with their intended load-bearing capacity.
