What is the difference between the European standard square pipe and the British standard square pipe?
With the continuous development of the industry, European standard square tubes and British standard square tubes have been widely used in many fields. Although they both belong to square tubes, there are some important differences between them. This article will introduce the differences between European standard square tube and British standard square tube in detail, including size, weight, strength and use.
First, the size difference.
There is a certain difference in the size of the European standard square tube and the British standard square tube. The size range of the European standard square tube is 1588mm×15.88mm to 6102mm×610.2mm, while the size range of the British standard square tube is 254mm×25.4mm to 6102mm×610.2mm。In terms of specific specifications, the European standard square has 127mm、19.05mm、25.4mm、31.75mm、50.There are several common specifications such as 8mm, while the British standard square tube has 254mm、38.1mm、50.8mm、76.2mm、101.6mm and other common specifications.
Second, the difference in weight.
There is also a difference in the weight of the European standard square tube and the British standard square tube. Due to the different materials and production processes, the weight of the two square tubes will also be different. Generally speaking, the weight of the European standard square tube is lighter, while the weight of the British standard square tube is heavier.
3. Difference in strength.
There is also a difference in the strength of the European standard square pipe and the British standard square pipe. The strength requirements of the European standard square tube are higher and must meet the requirements of the European standard, while the strength requirement of the British standard square tube is relatively low, but it also needs to meet the requirements of the British standard. Therefore, in specific use, it is necessary to choose the appropriate square tube according to the actual needs.
Fourth, the difference in use.
There are also differences in the use of European standard square pipes and British standard square pipes. The European standard square tube is mainly used in construction, machinery, ships and other fields, while the British standard square tube is mainly used in construction, machinery, petroleum and other fields. In addition, due to the large size of the European standard square tube, it is also widely used in the production of large structural parts, while the British standard square tube is more used in the production of small structural parts.
In short, there are certain differences between the European standard square tube and the British standard square tube in terms of size, weight, strength and use. When choosing, you need to choose according to your actual needs. At the same time, it should also be noted that there may be certain differences between the European standard square tube and the British standard square tube produced by different manufacturers, so it is recommended to choose qualified products produced by regular manufacturers when purchasing.
