Why Steel is used in Construction Industry?

Steel has a huge market share and is continuing to grow steadfastly. Across the globe, it is
increasingly being used by the construction industry, whether it is for building the frame or
for interiors or for roofing or for lawn upkeep. You would notice how it has captured the
market and adding aesthetic value as well.
Without doubt, it is pretty evident steel has good market because it is strong, durable,
resistant to natural disasters as hurricanes, tornadoes etc. and is sustainable. Yes, steel retains
its features even after undergoing several recycling processes. Also, one of the hidden or we
can term implicit advantages of using steel is during natural disasters, a building could bargain
better deals from insurance companies as steel is a durable material.

At Omni Steel Supply, we are listing some of the immediate advantages of steel in the
construction, which is helping in its popularity.


Sustainability: Steel is a reusable material and it holds on to its qualities even after
several uses and recycle. This makes it the most desired substance in the present global
warming crisis.
Speeds up the construction: Steel framework is manufactured in the warehouse, in
other words it is prefabricated and only assembling and installation work is done at
the site. It speeds up construction work and does away with any clutter on work sites.

Innovation: It is simpler to create innovative designs with steel or any metal. All
designing work with the help of high-end software, which makes working really
smooth. Each dimension, angles, 3D panning of the design, are worked out before the
final work commences. This gives scope to change and adapt as one realizes various
difficulties.

Safety: Prefabricated steel works and pre-decided lifting areas make it easy and at the
same time bring safety for the workers. The industry is known for taking good safety
measures, which makes working really fast.
• Worth every penny: Steel is regarded as value for money material as without loss of
material, it can be used many times
Robust and ductile: Since, it has great resistance power, it responds to carrying of load
with ease and do not crumble under pressure.
Architectural flexibility: Steel is versatile material, and this very feature gives
architects pleasure of realizing their ideas without much ado. Even steel sculptures
can be created with the help of steel and its alloy.
Onsite configuration gives ease in adaptability: Since steel is assembled on the site, so
it is easy to adapt to any required changes regarding the assembling.
Weight: It is a light weight material, so delivery and installation is not much of a
botheration. In fact, it is a common thing that more floors are added when there is a
requirement.

Pipe and Tube. What’s the difference between them?

One of our most asked questions is “What’s the difference between pipe and tube”?Although pipes and tubes may look similar, they are quite different in nomenclature and sizing.Here are some of the main differences between the two products:

Size
Pipe is typically available in larger sizes than tube.

Shape
Pipes are always round in shape. Tubes can be square, rectangular or round, as shown in the image to the right.

Strength
Tube is stronger than pipe.

Metal Types
Tube is available in hot rolled steel and cold rolled steel. Pipe is typically black steel. Both items can be galvanized.

Rigidity
Although copper and brass tubes can be shaped relatively easily, tubes are are typically rigid. Pipe, on the other hand, are invariably rigid and cannot be shaped without special equipment.

Applications
Only pipes are pressure rated and intended to be used for the transference of fluids or gas. Tubes, on the other hand, are used in structural applications.

Telescoping abilities
Tube can be telescoped. Remember to account for the flash weld inside the tube. Pipe, on the other hand, does not have a flash weld. DOM Tube is the best material for telescoping because the inside flash weld has been removed.

Measurement
Pipes are only provided with an inside (nominal) diameter and a “schedule”. There’s an easy way to remember this: since pipe is used to transfer fluids or gas, the size of the opening through which the fluids or gas can pass through is probably more important to you than the outer dimensions of the pipe. Tube measurements, are provided as an outside diameter and set ranges of wall thickness.
