Ensuring Precision: The Straightening Process for Square Tubes

Finished square tubes typically exhibit slight curvature, depending on the calibration of the manufacturing equipment. To achieve optimal straightness, cold straightening is often required. The bending of square tubes can result from improper mill adjustments during production, leading to residual stresses that form along the pipe’s cross-section and length as it cools. Since rolling alone cannot produce perfectly straight tubes, cold straightening is essential to meet high straightness standards.


The Science of Straightening


The fundamental principle of straightening involves applying elastic deformation to the square tube, gradually reducing larger bends into smaller ones. This process requires repeated bending and twisting within a straightening machine, with the degree of correction determined by precise machine adjustments.


Key Factors Affecting Straightening Quality


Several factors influence the effectiveness of straightening, including:


  • Initial curvature of the raw pipe

  • Dimensions and material of the steel tube

  • Type of straightening machine used

  • Adjustment parameters during the process
