What is tube reduction?
This technique has similarities to tube tapering. Here, you reduce the tube in size towards the end. It is a task that tends to be performed with hydraulic end formers or rotary reducing equipment. Both options are good, ensuring there is no interruption to the grain structure or loss of integral strength.
Rotary reduction has its advantages. For one thing, the workpieces can be in hot or warm condition. So, you can use it for heavy wall components. Rotary reduction can tube layer as well. Here, you reduce tubes made of different materials together. This leads to a sandwich effect and so you can create some impressive products.
Hydraulic end forming makes use of clamps and a static forming die to form tubes up to 5.5″ in diameter. With this method and rotary reduction, wall thicknesses can reach 5mm.
Hydraulic steel tubes in construction
Steel tubes have many uses in construction. They help to develop structures for instance, like storage units and skyscrapers. Additionally, you need variants like hydraulic steel tube to make the tools to build these structures. They are durable, sturdy, and very customisable. Plus, services like hydraulic construction tube reduction can help make them even more useful.
Steel tubes are favoured thanks to their flexibility and durability. They combine high strength with low weight to make them the ideal utensils. Being made of steel, they can put up with vibrations, shock, and high heat and pressure. Under pressure, steel bends instead of breaking down thanks to the ductility. This works to stop leakage or spillage of materials. Not to mention, this is a material that works well at resisting corrosion.
Steel tubes are easy to create, customise, and install. They aren’t difficult to work with and you can change them into many individual shapes. This is especially true with hydraulic tubing thanks to the added flexibility. As such, you can see why services like hydraulic construction tube reduction would be so useful.
Construction applications
For the specific uses of these tubes in construction, they include lattice and tubular masts for overland and overhead transmission lines, and in lighting, trams, and trains. You can also use them to create structures with temporary uses as well. Examples of these would be podiums, spectator stands, sheds, and halls.
Another use is the roof construction of stadiums and halls. These tubes also come in handy for making railings and balconies on staircases. They are employed to create scaffolding and support structures for construction projects too. When there are areas with unstable foundations, the tubes can help stabilise everything. Maybe the load your construction will support will be heavy. The tubes can help with support here as well.
Primarily though, people employ hydraulic tubes to make construction-related equipment and tools for projects. There can be plenty of applications here, even including massive machinery like cranes that rely on hydraulics.
