In daily life, we can see various types of towers, such as communication towers, pole towers, and power transmission towers. Power transmission towers are further divided into angle steel towers, steel pipe towers, and other types. Next, power transmission tower manufacturers will share the classification and applications of steel pipe power transmission towers with you.
A steel pipe power transmission tower is made of steel materials such as polygonal steel pipes and circular steel pipes. It undergoes anti-corrosion treatment such as hot-dip galvanizing or thermal spray core coating. Primarily used for the erection of power lines, it is also a replacement product for traditional cement poles. The main advantages of steel pipe power transmission towers lie in material conservation during manufacturing; moreover, many products currently in wide use are developed through its processing and modification.
The cross-section of a steel pipe tower can be circular or other shapes, which are mainly customized according to customer needs. However, circular cross-sections are more widely used, mainly because they bear forces evenly and can ensure the transmission of more fluids. Steel pipe towers are very convenient to use—they can operate in any environment with electricity, and their performance is much better than that of ordinary steel poles. A major advantage of steel pipe power transmission towers is their small floor space. In contrast, traditional cable-stayed power transmission towers and guyed pole towers have the drawback of occupying a large area.
Under the current market economy, land prices are constantly rising, making it increasingly difficult to secure land for power transmission and more costly in terms of investment. Additionally, in special areas such as urban centers, the conditions for building traditional power towers are simply not available. For this reason, steel pipe towers have become the preferred choice for power transmission facilities: their floor space is usually only about 1/3 of that of traditional angle steel towers, and the size of the top of the steel pipe tower is much smaller than that of traditional towers, which in turn reduces the required overhead line corridor.
Therefore, steel pipe towers can generally meet the needs of various environments and save land costs. It is recommended that users in need choose steel pipe power transmission towers. Types such as double-circuit steel pipe power transmission towers, straight steel pipe towers, and tension steel pipe towers are mainly used for power line erection.
- Straight steel pipe towers are used in the straight sections between tension steel pole towers. They mainly bear vertical loads and horizontal loads, as well as occasional longitudinal forces. Typically, the conductors are arranged in a triangular pattern with a single conductor per phase.
- Tension steel pipe towers are used at line bends or in areas with special requirements. They can withstand large horizontal and longitudinal loads, enhance the longitudinal strength of the line, limit the scope of line accidents, and serve as tension towers for construction and maintenance work.
