Metalliputki

Metalliputki is a Finnish term that translates to "metal pipe" or "metal tube." In a general context, it refers to any cylindrical hollow object made from metal. The specific type of metal, its dimensions, and its intended application can vary greatly.

These pipes and tubes are manufactured using a variety of processes, including extrusion, drawing, welding, and seamless forming. The choice of manufacturing method depends on factors such as the required strength, wall thickness, precision, and cost. Common metals used for metalliputki include steel (carbon steel, stainless steel), aluminum, copper, and various alloys.

Metalliputki find extensive use across numerous industries. In construction, they are used for plumbing, heating systems, structural support, and scaffolding. The automotive industry utilizes them for exhaust systems, fuel lines, and chassis components. In manufacturing, they serve as conduits for fluids and gases, as well as parts in machinery and equipment. The energy sector employs them in pipelines for oil and gas transportation, as well as in power generation facilities.

The properties of metalliputki, such as their durability, corrosion resistance, and ability to withstand pressure and temperature, make them indispensable in modern infrastructure and technology. Specific applications often dictate the required material properties and manufacturing standards for the metalliputki.
