Overview
The 160x80x5 structural rectangular tube is a hot-rolled or cold-formed steel profile with an outer width of 160 mm, height of 80 mm, and wall thickness of 5 mm. Its rectangular cross-section provides superior bending resistance compared to round tubes, making it ideal for frameworks requiring rigidity. Standardized under GB/T 6728 (China) or ASTM A500 (international), it is produced from carbon steel grades like Q235 or Q345. The tube’s hollow design reduces weight while maintaining strength, optimizing material efficiency in construction and industrial designs.
Structure and Working Principle
The tube’s structural integrity derives from its uniform wall thickness and right-angled corners, which distribute stress evenly under load. The 5 mm thickness balances durability and weight, suitable for medium-to-heavy-duty applications. In assemblies, it functions as a beam or column, transferring loads through welded or bolted connections. Its flat surfaces simplify mounting for panels or components, unlike rounded profiles. Finite element analysis (FEA) often validates its performance in custom applications.
Key Features
High strength-to-weight ratio: The hollow section minimizes material use without compromising load capacity, reducing transportation and installation costs. Weldability: Compatible with arc, MIG, and TIG welding, though pre-weld cleaning is recommended to remove mill scale. Galvanized variants offer enhanced corrosion resistance for outdoor use.
Application Areas
Construction: Primary material for steel-framed buildings, bridges, and mezzanine floors. Industrial machinery: Used in conveyor frames, robotic arms, and equipment bases due to its vibration dampening properties. Infrastructure: Guardrails, signage supports, and temporary structures like scaffolding (when paired with connectors).
Maintenance and Precautions
Regular inspections for rust or deformation are critical, especially in humid environments. Surface treatments like painting or powder coating extend service life. Avoid point loads exceeding the tube’s rated capacity, which may cause buckling. Use protective caps on exposed ends to prevent dirt accumulation and moisture ingress.
B2B Procurement Guide
Material certification: Request mill test reports (MTRs) verifying chemical composition and mechanical properties (yield strength, tensile strength). Dimensional tolerances: Confirm adherence to standards like GB/T 6728-2017 for straightness and wall thickness consistency. MOQ and lead time: Bulk orders (10+ tons) often qualify for discounts. Verify supplier stock levels to align with project timelines.
