What is a spiral tube?
Spiral tube is a type of tubing that is spiral or coiled, and its function depends on the material and application, such as protecting cables, transporting air, or transporting fluids. Spiral welded conduit is widely used in industrial fields such as HVAC/refrigeration, liquid transportation, wastewater treatment, irrigation, and pumping. It can be a flexible plastic sheath used for bundling and protecting electrical wires, or a rigid welded conduit used for industrial applications.
How thick is spiral welded pipe?
The wall thickness of spiral welded pipes varies depending on the specific product and application. We offer a wide range of sizes from thin to thick, using materials including low-carbon steel and specific grades of steel. Diameters range from 100 mm to 1600 mm, and wall thicknesses range from 1.6 mm to 16 mm.
What is spiral welded pipe used for?
The versatility of spiral tubes makes them suitable for various industrial and commercial applications, including HVAC systems, conveying fluids such as water, oil, and gas, and structural support in building and civil engineering projects. This versatility stems from its high strength, good flexibility, and ability to withstand positive and negative pressure in applications such as ventilation and dust removal.
How to use spiral pipe?
When using spiral ducts, sections can be connected by inserting a male connector into the ends of two pipes, or by directly connecting the ends of two pipes using a flange. Seal the joints with duct sealant or aluminum foil tape and secure them with screws or rivets to ensure an airtight seal. Finally, use clamps or brackets to secure the duct system to the mounting surface.
What gauge is a spiral pipe?
Galvanized steel pipes are available in sizes 18, 20, 22, and 24; stainless steel pipes are available in sizes 22 and 24. Spiral weld pipe is more robust than other types of ventilation ducts. Spiral weld tube come in a wide range of sizes, with common sizes including 26, 24, 22, 20, and 18. The specific size used depends on the pipe diameter and intended application. Finer sizes (such as 26) are used for smaller diameters and lighter applications, while thicker sizes (such as 18) are used for larger diameters or high-pressure systems with higher requirements.
