Hello Pipe Enthusiasts!
In this edition of #SEAPIPipeInsights!, let’s explore one of the important applications of steel pipes in everyday life.
Did you know that the use of steel pipes is not only for the oil, gas, water flow, and infrastructure sectors? Another application is steel pipes for Street Lighting Poles (PJU).
Function of Street Lighting Poles
Street lighting poles serve as vertical structures that support lighting fixtures for roads, public areas, and facilities. Made from carbon steel material, these poles are designed for:
- Structural strength to withstand the load of lamps and environmental conditions.
- Lighting efficiency to support public safety and comfort.
- Aesthetic value through integrated or separate ornamental designs.
Types of Street Lighting Poles
As a reference, here are several types of street lighting poles commonly used in the national steel industry:
- TP Type – lengths of 6 m, 7 m, 9 m, up to 11 m, with 1–2 m ornaments.
- T Type – lengths of 6 m to 11 m, with separate ornaments (options include Double Clamp, Single Clamp, Double Angle, Single Angle).
- PJU-TS (Solar Powered) – using solar cells with All in One or Two in One designs, equipped with anti-climb protection.
- PJU Ornamental Arms – round-shaped ornaments with a diameter of 2 inches and thickness of 2 mm, bending radius customized as required.
Quality Standards
Steel PJU poles are generally produced following international quality standards, such as:
- SNI (Indonesian National Standard)
- JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard)
- ISO 9001 Quality Certification
Each product undergoes strict fabrication and testing processes, including Welding according to standards, Surface protection with galvanization or protective coating, Straightness testing, bending tests, and dimensional measurements.
Conclusion
Through the example of PJU applications, we can see how steel pipes play an important role not only in the energy and infrastructure sectors but also in supporting safe and efficient public lighting.
This educational piece is expected to provide SEAPI readers with insights into the wide range of steel pipe applications in everyday life. If you require high-quality LSAW and HSAW steel pipes with international standards such as API 2B, API 5L, ASTM A252, ASTM A672, AWWA, JIS, UL 852, DNV-ST-F101, and national standards such as SNI, trust Southeast Asia Pipe Industries for your steel pipe needs.
