In Reply to: Strength of pipe?? posted by dave2 on December 13, 2009 at 05:09:32:
Pipe is soft, intended to be bent. Easily.
Bending strength is all in the metal at the upper and lower extremes of a structural member, like the top and bottom flanges of an I beam. Or a rectangular tube. For a given thickness top and bottom or solid the bending strength is proportional to the height cube. e.g. double the height, gets 8 times the strength and thickness. Pipe is poor at getting metal at the top and bottom. Square tube or I beam is a lot better for the weight. Most chassis use channel because its a lot cheaper than rectangular tube but it ought to be loaded with angle brackets off the flat face to cut down on the twist. Cross pieces help hold down the twist too when there are two sides to a frame.
