Profielbuizen

Profielbuizen, also known as structural tubes or hollow sections, are metal tubes that are manufactured in various cross-sectional shapes, most commonly square, rectangular, or circular. These shapes offer inherent structural advantages, providing good load-bearing capacity and rigidity in multiple directions. The manufacturing process typically involves either welding a flat sheet into the desired shape or seamless extrusion.

The primary applications of profielbuizen are in construction and engineering. They are widely used as support beams, columns, frames, and structural elements in buildings, bridges, and other infrastructure projects. Their uniform shape and consistent material properties make them predictable in structural calculations. In the automotive industry, they are utilized in chassis construction and other structural components. Furthermore, profielbuizen find use in the fabrication of furniture, machinery, and various industrial equipment due to their strength and ease of joining. They can be cut, drilled, and welded, allowing for versatile integration into complex designs. Materials commonly used for profielbuizen include steel, aluminum, and stainless steel, each offering different properties regarding strength, corrosion resistance, and weight.
