Product type
Square Hollow Sections (SHS) are hollow structural shapes made from steel, characterized by their square cross-section. They are typically manufactured from hot-rolled or cold-formed steel and offer excellent strength-to-weight ratios, making them a popular choice in construction and engineering applications. The uniform shape allows for easy fabrication and versatility in various structural designs.
| Material | Mild steel, stainless steel, or high-strength steel |
| Standard sizes | 20x20 mm to 400x400 mm |
| Thickness range | 1.5 mm to 20 mm |
| Length options | Typically available in lengths of 6m or 12m |
| Surface finish | Uncoated, galvanized, or painted |
When selecting Square Hollow Sections, consider the material grade and thickness based on the structural requirements of your project. It's important to specify the desired lengths and surface finish as these can affect the overall performance and aesthetics of the final product. Additionally, inquire about any necessary certifications or compliance with industry standards to ensure quality and safety.
