The following are the benefits of steel conduit tubes/pipes:-

Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) shielding: - Steel conduit can provide shielding for computers and sensitive electronic equipment from the electromagnetic interference caused by nearby power distribution systems. EMI can cause distortion on monitors; the alteration, destruction or loss of valuable digital data; and the disruption of communications. Research by Georgia Tech shows that the use of steel conduit reduces electromagnetic fields at 60 Hz power frequency levels by as much as 95 percent.

Physical protection of conductors: - Whats there? Sharp nails, drill bits, screws, powerful nail guns, heavy equipment. Not to mention masonry workers, drywallers, HVAC installers and other tradesmen. What can you do to protect your vulnerable electrical conductors from physical damage? Specify steel conduit. Steel conduit is tough. It provides the best physical protection you can get.

Non-combustible: - When non-metallic conduit is exposed to fire or elevated temperatures it can burn or decompose, generating smoke, heat and toxic gases, and opening up a pathway for the fire to spread throughout the building. Steel conduit helps inhibit the spread of fire because its non-combustible. Thats why its permitted in all environmental air spaces. Plus steel conduit is easier and less costly to seal when it penetrates floors, walls and ceilings.

Adaptable to future wiring changes: - Today, the need to replace or upgrade power, data and communications circuits can happen overnight. Requirements for more sophisticated electronic equipment, increased power requirements or new applications can cause owners and tenants to demand changes in the wiring of their plants, retail complexes or buildings. Steel conduit is adaptable. It makes it easier to pull old wiring and install new systems. Steel conduit provides the quickest and most efficient changeover or upgrading of electrical conductors.
