1. Raw Material Preparation:
Inspection and cutting of high-quality steel strips (carbon/stainless/aluminum) to precise widths based on RHS dimensions.
2. Cold Forming:
Precision roll-forming of steel strips into rectangular cross-sections, ensuring uniform shape and adherence to tolerance standards.
3. Welding:
Electric resistance welding (ERW) or submerged arc welding (SAW) to create seamless, durable longitudinal seams—critical for Welded Structural pipe performance.
4. Sizing & Straightening:
Calibration to refine dimensions, straightness, and squareness, meeting EN 10219/ASTM A500 requirements.
5. Surface Treatment:
Application of hot-dip galvanizing (for corrosion resistance), powder-coating, or painting based on regional environmental needs and customer requests.
6. Quality Inspection:
Visual checks, dimensional measurements, tensile strength testing, and weld integrity verification to ensure compliance.
7. Packaging:
Bundling and protection to prevent damage during transit.
Superior Structural Efficiency:
Uniform stress distribution delivers exceptional load-bearing capacity, making it ideal for building construction steel pipe and bridge supports.
High Strength-to-Weight Ratio:
Reduces transportation and installation costs while maintaining durability—perfect for large-scale regional projects.
Excellent Weldability & Machinability:
Compatible with standard MIG/TIG welding and cutting methods, enabling easy on-site fabrication.
Corrosion Resistance:
Galvanized, stainless steel, or coated options withstand Middle East salt spray, Southeast Asian humidity, and African tropical moisture.
Aesthetic Versatility:
Clean rectangular shape suits visible structures like architectural façades, handrails, and street furniture.
Cost-Effective:
Optimized material use and lightweight design fit diverse regional project budgets.
Our RHS products comply with global and regional standards for seamless project approval:

RFQ Question: Do your RHS tubes work for UAE’s outdoor mall façades in high heat? What’s the lead time?
Answer: Yes, our powder-coated or hot-dip galvanized RHS (ASTM A500 Gr B) resists UAE’s 55°C+ heat and sand.. Lead time is 10-16 working days for standard orders.
RFQ Question: Can RHS be used for Indonesia’s flood-prone bridge guardrails? What coating do you recommend?
Answer: We suggest 3PE-coated S355JR RHS for Indonesia’s flood-prone bridges—it resists water corrosion and humidity. The tubes meet SNI standards, offer strong load-bearing capacity, and deliver in 14-22 working days.
RFQ Question: Can RHS be cut to 8m lengths for Kenya’s rural school handrails? Is it easy to install?
Answer: Yes, we offer 8m customized lengths of S235JR RHS for Kenya’s school handrails. It’s lightweight for easy transport to rural areas, hot-dip galvanized for rain resistance, and comes with a simple installation guide.
RFQ Question: Do you supply RHS for Thailand’s agricultural machinery frames? How durable is it in wet fields?
Answer: Our ASTM A500 Gr B RHS is ideal for Thailand’s agricultural machinery—galvanized coating resists wet field humidity.
RFQ Question: What’s the lead time for 80 tons of RHS (200×100mm) for Kenya’s school construction?
Answer: Lead time for 80 tons of RHS (200×100mm, S235JR) is 10-15 working days.
