Examples of structures where steel pipes are used:

• Bridge structures – as supporting elements, vertical columns or girder elements.
• Structures of halls and warehouses – where they are elements of the structural skeleton of halls and warehouses.
• Machine constructions – e.g. in frames and chassis of machines, as axles and shafts, or elements of hydraulic systems.
• Tower structures – pipes are the basic structural element of towers, e.g. antenna, telecommunications or wind farms.
• Constructions of sports facilities – steel pipes are used in the construction of stadiums, sports halls or tennis courts, where they are structural elements of, for example, stands or roofs.
• Pipeline structures – steel pipes are commonly used in the chemical and petrochemical industry, where they are elements of pipelines and industrial installations.
• Structures of residential and office buildings – steel pipes are used in the construction industry as structural elements of stairs, balustrades, window and door frames.

Steel pipes are easy to connect using a variety of methods including welding, riveting, gluing or threading. The choice of joining method depends on the design requirements as well as the strength and durability requirements of the joint. The use of steel pipes in structures is very wide and depends on specific design requirements. Steel pipes can be used as load-bearing elements, columns, supports, frames, or simply as finishing elements.
