Steel Square Hollow Sections

Square hollow sections (SHS), also referred to as steel square pipes or profile pipes, are fundamental construction materials used across multiple industries. Known for their structural integrity and uniform shape, these steel profiles form the robust base of modern metal constructions. They significantly increase the resistance of steel frameworks to static loads, deformation, and temperature fluctuations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between S235 and S355 steel grades?

S235 is a standard structural steel with a minimum yield strength of 235 MPa, ideal for general construction and welding. S355 is a high-strength structural steel with a minimum yield strength of 355 MPa, used in heavy-duty applications that require superior load-bearing capabilities.

Can I order SHS for a small private project?

Yes. We supply steel materials in custom volumes to support everything from large-scale industrial developments to private home construction and DIY projects.

How is the price calculated?

We currently do not list fixed prices on our website because material costs fluctuate and pricing depends on your specific order volume. We provide custom, competitive quotes for each inquiry.

Why choose a square hollow section over a circular one?

Square hollow sections offer flat surfaces that make welding, joining, and fabrication easier without the need for special profiling or coping. They are also highly efficient for resisting bending loads in multiple directions.

Are these sections easy to transport?

Yes. The flat edges of square profile pipes allow them to be stacked securely and compactly, which optimizes storage space and simplifies transportation logistics.
