Different types of tube and coupler scaffolding


A scaffold is a structure widely used in most work sites. It represents a temporary and safe work platform to help in

  • building
  • maintenance
  • repair
  • access
  • audit, etc.

When it comes to choosing the structure that best suits a construction site, engineers or technicians play a crucial role. His experience in the subject will ensure the best advice: type of work, workplace conditions, etc.

If we classify the types of scaffolding according to the intrinsic mechanical differences of the many models, we would say that there are 3 types of scaffolds used in construction sites, such as:

  • Tube and coupler scaffolding
  • H / frame frame scaffolding
  • Multidirectional scaffolding

In this issue, we will carefully analyze the first and oldest type, the tube and coupler scaffolding.

The tube and coupler scaffolding is conceived as a temporary structure at a construction site.
The work is auxiliary and temporary. Its objective is to support the work team, guarantee its safety and that any other person works on the platform.
The structure must be properly anchored to the building. It is used to build, restore, knock down all or part of erections.

The system is composed of several elements:

  1. steel pipe
  2. the clamp, allowing the tubes to fit together or to join the components
  3. slats or work platforms
  4. anchor systems
  5. base cats (plates)

The tube is the key element of the system. Depending on how it is placed, it takes the name of standard / vertical (when placed vertically), stern mirror (when it forms a horizontal cross section), ledger (when placed horizontally), and diagonal (when placed as reinforcement) .

The coupler is the connecting element of the tubes, it can be made of steel or cast iron.
The name may vary depending on the joint: right angle (orthogonal), swivel, parallel, simple and sleeve coupling.
Rotary coupler The elements can be joined at different angles by means of the rotary coupler, either in steel or cast iron. The elements can also be joined axially through a parallel coupler, either in steel or cast iron.

The slats (work platforms) or any board platform complete the structure.

The deck tables are intended to be horizontal elements conceived as passable floors. They also play the role of transferring loads vertically through the tubes in the crossbars, which are attached to the uprights.

pipe scaffolding

Scaffolding / Steel Pipe Building Materials Galvanized Steel Tubes Hot dip galvanized Q235 scaffolding pipe is the main part of pipe and coupler scaffolding systems. The treatment of hot-dip galvanized surfaces has provided excellent appearance with sufficient durability in applications where exposure to salty air or long-term weather is unavoidable. Source: Technocraft Industries Packaging We could offer the packing according to the customer's requirements. The most popular packaging is 61pcs / bundle, 37pcs / bundle, 100pcs / bundle. Fastener type Steel pipe scaffolding type There are usually two types, one with an outer diameter of 48 mm and a wall thickness of 3.5 mm; the other has an outer diameter of 51 mm and a wall thickness of 3 mm; Depending on its position and function, it can be divided into a vertical pole, a horizontal pole, and a sweep rod. According to the "Technical safety specifications for scaffolding steel pipe fasteners for building ...

Fundamentals of the fabrics

Fundamentals of the fabric basically, there are three types of fabrics on the market today; these are natural mixtures, synthetic (made by man) or fabrics. Fabric blends are fabrics where natural and synthetic fibers are used to make a type of fabric. Natural fibers are derived from plants or animals; some of the animals used are sheep, goats, alpacas, rabbits and the silkworm, which is used to make fine silk. Fabric Interlock Some of the plants used are bamboo, cotton, linen, hemp, and even pineapple leaves are used. Some of the natural fabrics are wool, silk, cotton, linen and hemp. Synthetic fibers are manufactured by a chemical process where chemicals are forced through small holes called rows. Some of the fabrics produced from these fibers are polyester, nylon, acetate and spandex. When natural and synthetic fibers are used together to create fabrics, many different fabrics can be created, because each fiber acts differently and has its own qualities. When wool and cotton...
