Introducing Industrial Profile Features
Profiles with higher dimensions and greater thickness are generally used for industrial purposes. These sections are known in the industry as industrial or column profiles and are used in factories and car manufacturing because of their high strength. Unlike construction profiles, these sections are produced in smaller quantities and have a more limited use. These profiles are produced from sheets with high thickness (1.5 mm and more) and hence are also known as heavy profiles in the market.
Due to the production of this product from black sheet, the price of the industrial profile is directly related to the fluctuation of the price of black sheet. Other factors influencing the price of this product include the weight of the industrial profile, which is directly related to the dimensions and weight of the primary sheet. For the production of industrial profiles, national standards INSO 17003-1 and INSO 17003-2 are used, because of their important application, they usually have a standard weight. The appearance of industrial profiles is square and they are in the size range of 10 to 400 mm. However, you can order different sizes of this product based on your needs.
The benefits of industrial profiles
One of the important features of industrial profiles that have made them popular in the market is their favorable weldability, low weight compared to high thickness, diverse applications, easy manufacturing and shaping, and high tensile strength. ..
Application of Industrial Profile
Industrial profiles, as their name suggests, are generally used in industries. Due to their high strength and thickness, these profiles are one of the suitable options for military industries, construction of industrial equipment, bridges and advertising boards. One of the important and fundamental applications of these profiles is the construction of columns. In the article on the use of cans for columns, we explained in detail that heavy cans are one of the main options for building columns of structures. In these cases, the empty space of the can is filled with concrete or a pipe is placed inside it and concrete is poured around it. Due to the low cost and high strength of heavy cans, their use for the construction of structural columns is widespread. Other uses of industrial profiles include the following:
Construction of large trusses
Automotive industry
Production of industrial devices
Construction of the metal frame of the building
Construction of tanker chassis and trailers
Construction projects such as dam construction
The difference between industrial and construction profiles
As you are building a construction project, you have definitely needed these profiles by now. Construction profile is the most widely used product among all types of steel sections and is used in making tables, chairs and all kinds of doors and windows. The dimensions of construction profiles are usually small and have a lot of variety.
The dimensions of this product start from 20x20 and 20x30 and are available up to 90x90 and 100x100. Also, the thickness of these profiles is low and they are usually produced from 2, 2.5, 3 and 4 mm sheets. However, due to their low thickness, construction profiles do not have high strength and are therefore not useful for industrial purposes.
Dimensions of Industrial and Construction Profile Dimensions
One of the most important differences between industrial and construction profiles is the dimensions of these two products. As mentioned, the dimensions of industrial profiles are larger than construction profiles and they are produced from sheets with higher thickness. For this reason, industrial profiles have higher strength and are more useful in industries.
The difference between the application of industrial and construction profiles
Industrial profiles are used in applications that require high load bearing and high strength, and construction profiles are used in cases that do not require high strength and beauty of appearance is more important. It is suitable. Therefore, in general, it can be said that the use of industrial profiles is specific to large industries such as the military industry or automobile manufacturing, and construction profiles are limited to use in the production of doors and windows or metal structures. When buying a profile, you should pay attention to the type of application you want, for example, profiles with high dimensional accuracy and good quality are needed for applications that require high dimensional accuracy. Therefore, it is recommended to explain to the seller the type and application of the desired product before buying the profile, so that the best profile will be offered to you based on your type of consumption. Also, in some applications, profiles with high strength are not needed, so in these applications, instead of using high-quality and high-priced profiles, you can use lower quality products and thus save on consumption costs.
The price difference of industrial and construction profiles
Due to the higher weight and greater thickness of industrial profiles, the price of this product is higher than construction profiles. The large dimensions of industrial profiles and high thickness cause spending a lot of time and money to produce this product, and hence its final price is higher. Due to the higher price of the industrial profile, it is better to make sure of the weight and dimensions you want before buying.
