Rørkonstruksjoner

Rørkonstruksjoner refer to structures built using pipes or tubular elements. These can range from simple scaffolding and temporary supports to complex architectural features and industrial installations. The inherent strength and efficient material usage of tubular sections make them ideal for load-bearing applications. Common materials used in rørkonstruksjoner include steel, aluminum, and sometimes specialized plastics or composites, depending on the required strength, weight, and environmental resistance.

The design of rørkonstruksjoner often involves considering factors such as buckling resistance, joint integrity, and the overall structural stability. Connections between pipe sections can be achieved through welding, specialized mechanical couplings, or threaded fittings. The versatility of pipe elements allows for the creation of a wide variety of shapes and configurations, facilitating efficient use of space and material. Applications are diverse, found in construction for scaffolding and formwork, in the oil and gas industry for pipelines and offshore platforms, and in artistic and public installations. The modular nature of many rørkonstruksjoner also allows for relatively easy assembly and disassembly.
