Square Hollow Sections (SHS)
Square Hollow Sections (SHS) are a type of structural steel tubing with a square cross-section. They are widely used in construction, manufacturing, and engineering due to their high strength-to-weight ratio, aesthetic appeal, and ease of fabrication.
Specifications
Shape: Square (equal sides)
Size Range: Typically 20×20mm to 400×400mm (custom sizes available)
Wall Thickness: 1.2mm to 16mm (varies based on application)
Length: Standard 6m or 12m, custom lengths upon request
Tolerance: Compliant with EN 10219, ASTM A500, JIS G3463
Material & Grades
Carbon Steel (S235JR, S355JR, ASTM A500 Gr B/C) – General structural use
Stainless Steel (304, 316) – Corrosion-resistant applications
Alloy Steel – High-strength requirements
Surface Treatment
Hot-dip galvanized (for corrosion protection)
Painted or powder-coated (for aesthetics)
Performance Features
High Strength & Rigidity – Excellent load-bearing capacity for structural frameworks.
Uniform Shape – Easy to weld, cut, and assemble with other steel components.
Lightweight – Reduces overall construction weight while maintaining durability.
Corrosion Resistance (if galvanized or stainless steel) – Suitable for outdoor and harsh environments.
Applications
Construction: Building frames, roof trusses, columns, and support structures.
Infrastructure: Bridges, guardrails, signage, and street furniture.
Machinery & Equipment: Frames for conveyors, agricultural machinery, and industrial racks.
Architectural Design: Modern façades, canopies, and decorative structures.
Automotive & Transport: Chassis components and trailer frames.
Advantages Over Other Hollow Sections
Easier Alignment (compared to RHS or CHS) due to flat surfaces.
Aesthetic Appeal – Clean, modern look for visible structures.
Efficient Material Use – Optimizes weight distribution in load-bearing designs.
Standards & Certifications
EN 10219 (Cold-formed welded structural hollow sections)
ASTM A500 (Standard for carbon steel tubing)
JIS G3463 (Japanese industrial standards)
ISO 9001 (Quality management certified production)
Customization Options
Pre-cut & drilled holes for easy assembly.
Special coatings (anti-rust, fire-resistant).
Non-standard sizes & shapes (upon request).
