[Architects' Hidden Toolbox: 18 Ways to Use Round Aluminum Pipes]
When the sun on the construction site makes the steel bars hot, more and more engineers begin to choose lightweight Aluminium Round Pipes. This seemingly ordinary hollow pipe is actually the "Swiss Army Knife" of modern architecture - it can be used as a structural support and a functional pipeline.
Why is round becoming a new trend?
360° uniform stress characteristics, more suitable for curved structures than square tubes
When connected with Standard Aluminium Profiles, it is more convenient to rotate and adjust the angle
The smooth inner wall of the aluminium round pipe reduces the resistance by 40% when conveying liquids
Each meter of the pipe can withstand a sharp temperature difference of -20℃ to 150℃
