Levyjäputkia

Levyjäputkia, often translated as sheet metal pipes or formed ductwork, are a common type of air or material transport conduit found in various industrial and architectural applications. They are constructed from flat sheets of metal, typically steel or aluminum, which are then shaped and joined to form hollow cylindrical or rectangular cross-sections. The manufacturing process involves bending, rolling, and seaming techniques to create durable and leak-proof structures.

The primary function of levyjäputkia is to facilitate the movement of air, gases, dust, or other bulk materials. In HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems, they are essential for distributing conditioned air throughout buildings, connecting components like fans, filters, and diffusers. Their adaptability in terms of shape and size allows them to be integrated into complex building designs.

Beyond HVAC, levyjäputkia are utilized in industrial settings for dust collection systems, material handling in manufacturing plants, and ventilation in mines or tunnels. The choice of metal and the thickness of the sheet are determined by the specific application, considering factors such as corrosion resistance, temperature, and the pressure or abrasive nature of the transported medium. Their relatively straightforward manufacturing process and cost-effectiveness make them a popular choice for a wide range of ducting needs.
