Scaffolding Pipe Manufactured by ALLLAND

Our scaffolding tubes are manufactured using high-strength steel grades (such as Q235, Q345, etc.), offering exceptional compressive and bending strength. They can withstand heavy loads, ensuring structural stability and reliability during construction. The tubes exhibit outstanding durability, capable of long-term use even in demanding construction environments.
Scaffolding tubes treated with hot-dip galvanizing or electrogalvanizing feature outstanding surface corrosion protection, effectively resisting erosion from various weather and chemical environments. They are particularly suitable for marine climates, humid conditions, or other highly corrosive settings.
We offer multiple surface treatment options, including hot-dip galvanizing, cold galvanizing, spray painting, and powder coating. Users can select the appropriate treatment based on specific construction requirements and environmental conditions to extend the service life of scaffolding tubes.

Standards for Scaffolding Pipes

As load-bearing pipes, scaffolding pipes require a certain level of mechanical strength. They must also comply with local standards and mechanical requirements. Below are some commonly used standards for scaffolding pipes. Please contact us if you have any questions.

EN 39

European standard for scaffolding tubes, applicable to construction, industrial maintenance, and temporary structures. Common outer diameter: 48.3mm. Wall thickness options: 3.2mm/4.0mm. Yield strength: ≥ 235 MPa. Suitable for coupler-type scaffolding systems with stable and reliable performance.

BS 1139

The traditional British scaffolding pipe standard, widely used in Middle Eastern, African, and Southeast Asian markets. Suitable for coupler-type scaffolding systems, including the Zhongxing scaffolding system. Common outer diameter is 48.3 mm with wall thicknesses of 3.2 mm or 4.0 mm. Features strict tolerance control, strong deformation resistance, and reusability.

ASTM A53/A500

Frequently used in North American, South American, and Asian markets. While these standards are not specifically for scaffolding pipes, they meet the 48.3 mm OD requirement, with wall thickness and load-bearing capacity meeting specifications. They are compatible with clamps and thus serve as production standards.

Note: Regardless of tolerance standard, the standard outer diameter for scaffolding pipes is 48.3 mm. Deviations from this diameter may affect clamp tightness, creating safety hazards. Wall thickness ranges from 3.0–4.0 mm to ensure adequate load-bearing capacity.

Scaffolding Connection Methods

Clamp Connection

Clamp connection is the most common scaffolding connection method, connecting pipes using clamps. Clamps mainly consist of bolts, nuts, and clips, which securely connect two scaffolding pipes together by tightening the bolts.Suitable for lightweight scaffolding, especially in temporary structures requiring quick assembly and disassembly.

Welded Connection

Welded connection uses welding methods such as arc welding and argon arc welding to weld two or more scaffolding pipes into a single unit. This connection method is usually used in scaffolding systems with higher load-bearing requirements or for long-term use.Suitable for high-strength scaffolding, especially in situations requiring high stability such as bridge construction and factory building construction.

Bolt Connection

Bolt connection uses bolts, nuts, and washers to connect scaffolding pipes. This method is commonly used in scaffolding requiring extra strength and load-bearing capacity.Suitable for heavy-duty scaffolding and heavy-load construction such as bridges and building facades.

Scaffolding Pipe Inspection

(1) Dimensional Inspection:
Outer Diameter and Wall Thickness Measurement: Use calipers, outer diameter gauges, wall thickness gauges, or other professional equipment to measure the outer diameter and wall thickness of each scaffolding pipe, ensuring that the pipes meet the standard size requirements.
Length Measurement: Use a steel tape measure or laser rangefinder to check the length of each scaffolding pipe, ensuring the length is within the tolerance range.

(2) Surface Inspection:
Visual Inspection: Check the surface of the scaffolding pipes for flatness, smoothness, and the presence of defects such as cracks, dents, and scratches. Pay particular attention to galvanized pipes, ensuring the surface coating is uniform.
Coating Inspection: Use a thickness gauge to measure the thickness of the galvanized layer, ensuring the hot-dip galvanized layer thickness meets the standard (generally 50µm or more).

(3) Strength and Hardness Testing:
Tensile Test: Determine the tensile strength of the scaffolding pipes through tensile testing. Common standards require a tensile strength of at least 370 MPa for Q235 steel and at least 470 MPa for Q345 steel.
Hardness Test: Use a Rockwell hardness tester to test the hardness of the pipes, ensuring they meet the required hardness standards, especially at the welded areas.

(4) Welding Quality Inspection:
Weld Inspection: Check the welded areas of the scaffolding pipes for defects such as cracks, pores, and incomplete welds. Non-destructive testing methods such as ultrasonic testing and X-ray testing can be used for weld quality inspection.
Welded Joints: Ensure that the strength of the pipe joints is consistent with the overall strength, preventing problems during the use of the scaffolding pipes due to poor welding.

(5) Corrosion Resistance Testing:
Salt Spray Test: Conduct a salt spray test on hot-dip galvanized scaffolding pipes to check the corrosion resistance of the galvanized layer. The standard requires that the scaffolding pipes can withstand at least 24 hours in a salt spray environment without significant corrosion.
Surface Coating Inspection: For scaffolding pipes with anti-corrosion coatings, check the coating thickness and uniformity.

FAQ

What are the standards for scaffolding pipes?

GB/T 3091-2015 (Galvanized steel pipes for steel structure)
