- Scaffolding pipes can be produced from two types of galvanized metal and steel, each of which has its own use.
- Scaffolding pipes in two types, seamless and seamed. are made, which is definitely more safe than the seamless type, and they are used for places where scaffolding is subjected to a lot of pressure.
- The weight of scaffolding tubes depends on its size and thickness, but in general, each tube It can weigh between 6.4 and 27. It should be noted that the length of each tube is between 1.5 and 6.4 meters, its diameter is up to 48 mm and its thickness is between 3.5 and 5.3 mm in the market. Scaffolding tubes in Two types, light and heavy, are made for different conditions. The lightest pipe weighs 6 kg and the heaviest pipe weighs up to 27 kg. The most common type of scaffolding pipe has a size of 11 inches and is known as the number five pipe in the market and various industries.
There are different types of metal scaffolding and each one is used depending on a specific need.
💠 Triangular metal scaffolding 💠
As can be seen from the name of this type of scaffolding, its components are in the form of triangles that are connected in the form of male and female. The frames of this type of scaffolding are available in the market in both square and triangular shapes and in 1, 0.75 and 0.5 meter types. It should be noted that the width of the sections or the frames of the triangular scaffolding is 120 cm. The main use of this type of scaffolding is to build bridges and framing; Besides, opening and closing it is easy and does not require much expertise and skill.
💠 Star hammer scaffolding 💠
This type of scaffolding has vertical bases and horizontal braces, the lengths of which are 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2.5, 3 meters. Horizontal braces require no bolts and are simply hammered into place on vertical posts. An advantage of this scaffold compared to other scaffolds is the presence of adjustable jacks at the top and bottom of the scaffolding, which makes it easy to control the difference in level and height of the scaffolding. The components of this type of scaffolding are very light, so it is easy to transport. Also, the field of application of hammer scaffolding is not limited to building construction and is used for many projects. There is another type of scaffolding, which is called bowl hammer scaffolding. This scaffolding is very similar to the star hammer scaffolding, and the only difference is in the shape of its frame, which is executed in the form of a bowl.
💠 Suspended scaffolding 💠
There are times when it is not possible to install and run scaffolding on the ground; Therefore, they use a type of scaffolding called suspended scaffolding. The way to install this type of scaffolding is that its components such as pipes are connected to the building itself and shown in the form of a platform. This is why this type of scaffolding is called suspended scaffolding or suspended scaffolding.
