agree  Ken Cox: more likely 'tube' than 'pipe' (in an engineering context, a pipe ususally transports something) -- in any case, a Google check is in order

Explanation:
The ref below at least shows a picture & a sectional view.
It's a square-section tube with a slot for the screws that hold the facade.

The manufacturer also has an English page, put neatly avoids a translation. He refers to 'SR-profiles' (for Schraubrohr-Profil).

As there is no direct link, proceed as follows:
Click on 'stabalux' in the navigation bar of the index page. Then click on 'Schraubrohr' under the heading 'Stahl-Glasfassaden'.
