As a core component of ventilation systems, carbon steel ducts have become the preferred choice in the industrial, commercial, and construction fields due to their excellent material properties and wide applicability. This article will systematically analyze their core advantages, key processing points, and typical application scenarios, providing references for engineering design and selection.
I. Five Core Advantages of Carbon Steel Ducts
1.High Strength and Pressure-bearing Capacity
Carbon steel ducts are made of carbon steel with a carbon content between 0.02% and 2.1%, which endows them with outstanding mechanical strength. Their structure can withstand high-pressure airflows and external loads, making them suitable for scenarios with high requirements for duct strength, such as large industrial workshops and high-rise buildings.
2.Long-term Corrosion Resistance
Through surface treatment processes such as galvanizing and spraying, the corrosion resistance of carbon steel ducts is significantly improved. Even in humid environments or places containing weakly corrosive gases (such as food processing workshops and chemical plants), they can still operate stably for a long time, reducing maintenance costs.
3.Adaptability to High-temperature Environments
Carbon steel materials can maintain stable shapes under normal high-temperature conditions (usually ≤300°C), making them suitable for scenarios requiring heat-resistant ventilation, such as boiler rooms and drying workshops. However, in extremely high-temperature environments (such as the metallurgical industry), thermal insulation layers need to be installed or upgraded materials such as alloy steel should be selected.
4.High Cost - effectiveness and Easy Processability
Carbon steel raw materials have low costs and are widely available, making them suitable for large-scale project applications. The material is easy to cut, weld, and bend, and can be customized into components such as straight pipes, elbows, and tees to adapt to complex ventilation system layouts.
5.Long Service Life and Low Maintenance Requirements
Carbon steel ducts are not prone to deformation and aging. With anti - corrosion treatment, they can serve for more than 15 years, significantly reducing the replacement frequency and comprehensive costs.
