Information
To estimate the need for a metal profile pipe, a specialized calculation program is required. The profile pipe is a versatile material, it does not deform easily even under heavy loads, making it well-suited for metal structures. For example, a roof truss made of profile pipe is characterized by high strength and proper geometry, making it ideal for various constructions.
The online calculator is designed to calculate the length and shape of each element of the planned structure, including roof trusses. The complexity of performing this manually lies in the time consumption. There remains a possibility of error - correcting it would require scarce time and additional metal. The calculator will be useful for specialists in metal structures manufacturing, as it helps avoid mistakes and saves time. With its help, you can easily calculate a truss for a canopy, taking into account all necessary parameters.
Advantages
The metal pipe truss calculator is distinguished by its speed and clarity in operation:
- it is convenient and requires a minimum amount of data;
- practical at all stages of construction (from material planning and cutting to quality inspection);
- automatic update of the graphic image after entering all parameters - convenient visualization of the metal structure;
- you can calculate everything for canopies made of profile pipe, including drawings and dimensions of single-slope and double-slope trusses.
The product scheme is technological - the truss is assembled using welding, with accuracy up to a millimeter. The product has good load-bearing capacity and symmetry. Welding ensures the reliability and durability of the truss.
Parameters
The calculation of a truss made of profile pipe is carried out based on the main geometry parameters of the future product. The user is required to enter several size values:
- overall dimensions of the outer belt - length (e.g., 6 meters or 12 meters), width, and cross-sectional dimensions;
- presence of posts (the truss calculation takes their symmetrical arrangement into account);
- presence of braces (if required).
It is possible to calculate a triangular truss: to do this, you need to select the "truss type" - single or double slope. The output shows the geometry, dimensions, and number of beams, as well as the load on the truss. At the same time, the nodes of the trusses must be properly calculated and executed to ensure the strength of the structure.
To manufacture a proper metal truss, it is important to consider all parameters and loads, as well as know how to weld the structural elements. Drawings and calculations will help to do this accurately and efficiently.
