TECHNOLOGIES USED TO MANUFACTURE BLACK TUBES

Apollo Column is a game changer in the construction industry. In addition, it reduces steel consumption and waste while reducing project duration. Besides, these Hollow Steel Structures are manufactured using ERW technology, where tubes are formed by cold forming of steel coil into a round cylindrical shape. Longitudinal welding is also one of the technologies to produce ERW tubes.

Direct Forming Technology (DFT) is used to create Apollo Square Column. This technology enables the possibility to produce custom size of structural steel tubes without roll changes, which further results in an extreme reduction in setup time (this promotes minimal welding, hence helps to cut cost and time significantly). This DFT method can modify tube dimensions automatically as the process is computerized.

Torsional strength makes these steel rectangular tubes an excellent choice for fire resistance and consistent. Other benefits of these rectangular tubes are as follows:

  1. Flexibility in design: It allows engineers and architects to create tubes to meet the project requirements. Steel Column Structures are hollow and lightweight, so it is easy to customize in unique sizes.
  2. Uniform strength: ERW steel tubes offer uniform strength because of no weaker axis. Hollow tubes are manufactured with uniform distribution of material around their axis.
  3. Easy to paint: Column tubes are square and have 30%-40% less surface area than equivalent built-up sections. Due to its uniform and smooth shape, it is easy to paint and transport.
  4. Higher torsional strength: Compared to open sections, it offers 200 times more torsional resistance. Hollow Sections prevent the structures from failure and dangerous accidents.
  5. Less material wastage: It has less surface area than other built-up sections. Its cut-to-length sizes are from 4 to 12 mm. So, Apollo Column require less material and reduce application time. The use of Direct Forming Technology helps to create pieces in custom sizes with negligible wastage. This leads to a massive reduction in overall project costs.
  6. Accurate weight: ERW square tubes are available in accurate weights consistent with the theoretical calculations. The weight of HSS is also low as compared to other built-up sections.
  7. Less steel consumption: It reduces steel consumption while building the structure. So, it ultimately reduces the overall weight of the steel structure. Also, the use of HSS in structural buildings reduces steel consumption by 15-20%.
  8. Lower project cost: The weight reduction and low steel consumption will not only prevent the wastage of steel, but also reduces the erection and transportation costs. As a result, it will show reduction in the overall project cost.
  9. Easy to install: It doesn’t not require much effort and time to install these hollow sections in the construction structure. The bolting system simplifies the construction process for the contractors.
  10. Ease of fabrication: Ease of welding, punching, bending, and drilling makes Apollo Column a perfect choice.
  11. Environment Friendly: APL Apollo Column is an eco-friendly product. It replaces conventional construction materials, such as wood and tin and prevents severe pollution.
  12. Aesthetically Pleasing: have smooth surfaces that enhance the aesthetic appeal of the structures. It is suitable for infrastructure, commercial as well as residential projects.
  13. Lower Project Duration: The use of Hollow Steel Sections in Pre- engineered buildings reduces the time taken to complete the project. This improves the efficiency of project management.

Infrastructure Applications: Steel tubes are a great alternative to pre-engineered structures. Project contractors and consultants can use tubes. Rural and urban infrastructure can be constructed with hollow steel sections. The column can be used for factories, warehouses, airports, industrial sheds, railways, bullet train, convention centres, etc. This is due to Direct Forming Technology (DFT) and Electric Resistance Welding (ERW).


Industrial Applications: Steel tubes have a wide range of industrial applications and are commonly used in factories, warehouses and industrial sheds.


Commercial Buildings: The strength-to-weight ratio of this material is excellent for commercial buildings. Additionally, it is available in a variety of shapes and grades. It can be the material of choice to build office towers, malls, schools, hospitals, hotels, etc.


APL Apollo is the right choice for all steel structures, PEB structures, structural steel buildings, and construction.
