The plug for the pipe profile and its main functions

material for the production of caps on the profile tube

Plugs perform a number of important and useful features.Here they are.

1. Protect from moisture profile design, and thus make the structure more resistant to corrosion.
2. Close the tube, so that it did not get a different litter.
3. prevent ingress of insects, such as wasps, bees and other dangerous.
4. used in furniture and serve a protective function.Prevent damage to the floor covering (set on the couch legs, chairs, cabinets, etc.).
5. Give to the original appearance of the product.

plugs have different shapes, suitable to the profile of the pipe.Do not forget about the fact that their sizes are different, and therefore the plug 30x30 mm, designed for square tube, well, not suitable for a smaller or larger cross-section.

Depending on fixation, the product is classified into: flange, flanged, welded flat, spherical, swivel and elliptical.

Although a variety of plugs and not so great, but the material you will be able to choose exactly.He almost always corresponds to the profile tube.Thus, the metal products made using the stainless steel (or steel), aluminum or other nonferrous metals.As a general rule, the installation of the plug does not present any difficulty.However, sometimes it is necessary to use welding.For example, the cap may serve as an ordinary steel plate.It is adjusted for the size of the profile tubes and welded.

As for the plastic plugs that are used for the manufacture of polymers.The most popular is considered to be polyethylene.It is more resistant to mechanical stress, however its strength wants to be the best (when compared to metal analogues).

The purpose of the plastic cap - to create a high-quality and reliable seal communication end.In addition, they are able to hide some of the fasteners on the profiled pipe, its defects, as well as serve as a decorative element usual.

plugs made of plastic is divided into two groups: external and internal.

Exterior: a common element, which is put on top of the profile pipe.

Advantages: Creates a sealing tube, protects the face as well as the surrounding areas (up to 5 centimeters).

Disadvantages: Low strength, as well, it is easy to remove.

Interior: fully inserted into the profile tube, while leaving only decorative piece.

Advantages: Ribs increase body strength and simplify installation.

Disadvantages: Cost more expensive than that of the exterior.

Special types of plugs

Before you go shopping for a stub, you need to consider the conditions for its operation.If the anticipated temperature differences or aggressive environment, it is best to use metal products.After wandering around the shops, you will certainly be able to find a special, dual plugs.They are reinforced, are produced using different alloys and can withstand temperatures up to 600 degrees Celsius.However, in a moist environment is best suited for plastic caps shaped tubes.As mentioned above, they are resistant to corrosion, and therefore will in your product protection.In an extreme case, the market offers additional polymeric materials that are capable of contact with different chemical compounds.

Specialized plugs are used for: pipelines (can be operated under high pressure), corrosive environment with the use of gasoline, oil and various chemical elements.
