AISI 1045 Carbon Steel Hexagonal Pipe Hex tube
China manufacturer of AISI 1045 Carbon Steel Hexagonal Pipe Hex tube
A hexagonal pipe is a pipe with a hexagonal external cross-sectional shape while maintaining a circular or hexagonal internal profiles.
The hexagonal shape of the hexagonal pipe increases strength and rigidity compared to circular pipes. The flat sides distribute stress evenly along the structure, making it more resistant to bending or warping under pressure.
Features of Hexagonal Pipes
- Shape:
- Outer geometry: Hexagonal (six-sided).
- Inner geometry: Typically circular or hexagonal shape.
- Material:10#, 20#, 35#, 45#, S45C
- Sizes and Dimensions:
- Outer diameter (across flats or corners).
- Inner diameter or wall thickness for structural integrity and flow capacity.
- Manufacturing:
- Hexagonal pipes are typically made through extrusion, drawing, or machining processes.

Why using Hexagonal Pipes
Enhanced Structural Support
- Flat Sides for Stability: The flat surfaces of a hexagonal pipe provide better stability and ease of attachment in structural frameworks compared to circular pipes.
- Improved Load Distribution: The hexagonal geometry offers excellent strength-to-weight ratio, especially in applications requiring balanced load-bearing properties.
Easy Handling and Assembly
Improved Mechanical Performance
- Non-Rotational Properties: Unlike round pipes, the hexagonal shape prevents rotation when installed, which is beneficial for structural or mechanical applications requiring a fixed orientation.
- Resistance to Deformation: The geometric integrity of the hexagonal shape provides better resistance to bending and torsional forces under specific conditions.
Hexagonal pipes combine functionality and aesthetics, making them suitable for both practical and decorative applications
