Detailed Technical Data Sheet - Used Corrugated Sheets 760x6000 mm, Thickness 0.8 mm
General Description
Corrugated sheets are metal sheets profiled with a series of folds or "greeks" that give them high mechanical strength while maintaining a thin thickness. These sheets are widely used in construction, for roofing and wall cladding, but are also used in industrial and agricultural applications.
Buying used corrugated sheets can be an economical opportunity, especially for projects that require sturdy but not necessarily new materials.
Components and Materials
- Base Material: Galvanized steel or stainless steel (depending on the type), coated to resist corrosion. Corrugated sheets can also be made of aluminum.
- Structure: The sheet metal features a series of longitudinal folds that increase its rigidity without significantly increasing its weight. This makes it ideal for roofs that must withstand variable loads, such as snow or wind.
- Coating: Generally coated with a layer of zinc to protect the steel from corrosion. In some cases, they may have additional PVC coatings or special paints to improve aesthetics and durability.
Dimensions
- Width: 760 mm (actual width may vary depending on the specific profile).
- Length: 6000 mm (6 meters).
- Thickness: 0.8 mm, thin enough to maintain lightness, but robust thanks to the corrugation.
Mechanical Characteristics
- Bending Resistance: Folds in the sheet metal increase bending resistance, allowing large spans to be covered without intermediate supports.
- Reduced Weight: Despite its robustness, the weight of the sheet metal is reduced, facilitating installation and reducing structural loads.
- Corrosion Resistance: Thanks to the zinc coating and/or other protective materials, corrugated sheets offer good resistance to atmospheric agents.
Formulas for Optimal Use
- Maximum Sustainable Load (W): Depends on the corrugation profile and the thickness of the sheet metal. An estimate can be calculated with the formula W=σy×IL2W = \frac{\sigma_y \times I}{L^2} W = L 2 σ y × I , σy\sigma_y σ y is II I is the moment of inertia of the cross-section of the sheet metal, and LL L is the span between the supports.
- Moment of Inertia (I): Calculated based on the geometry of the corrugated profile, crucial for determining the stiffness of the sheet metal.
Workable Materials
Corrugated sheets, depending on the material they are made of, can be used in combination with various other construction materials such as:
- Wood : For lightweight roofing and cladding.
- Concrete : For composite floors, where the sheet metal serves as permanent formwork.
- Other Metals : For composite roofing systems.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Clean the surface regularly to remove dirt and debris, avoiding standing water that could accelerate corrosion.
- Visual Inspection: Check periodically for signs of rust or structural damage.
- Coating Touch-ups: If necessary, reapply protective coating to damaged areas.
How to Evaluate a Good Used Car
- No Corrosion: Check for signs of rust or penetrating corrosion.
- Structural Integrity: Check that the corrugations are not deformed or compromised, which would reduce the load-bearing capacity of the sheet metal.
- Coating Intact: The protective coating must be present and intact, with no obvious signs of wear.
Sectors of Use
- Construction: Used for roofing, walls and facades.
- Agriculture: Used for agricultural constructions, such as sheds and warehouses.
- Industry: For the construction of collaborative floors and industrial roofs.
Why It's Worth Buying Used
- Lower Cost: Used corrugated sheets are generally cheaper than new ones, making them ideal for projects on a tight budget.
- Sustainability: Reusing materials reduces the environmental impact compared to purchasing new products.
- Immediate Availability: Used sheet metal is often ready for use and available in large quantities, reducing procurement times.
Conclusion
Used corrugated sheets represent an excellent option for those seeking a durable, affordable, and readily available material for construction or renovation projects. However, it's essential to carefully inspect their condition to ensure they retain their mechanical properties
