Applications & Usage
This medium-duty Steel rectangular hollow section is commonly specified for furniture manufacturing, enclosures, brackets, and general fabrication. The 2.5mm wall thickness provides excellent strength-to-weight ratio while maintaining workability. The applied finish enhances both durability and appearance. Available in standard lengths of 6m, this profile can be easily cut, drilled, and welded to suit your specific requirements.

Grade strength and capacity
Minimum strength of each grade this size is rolled in, with the indicative capacity of the section.
| Grade | Min. yield | Tensile | Bending Wel·fy | Axial A·fy |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S235JRH | 235 MPa | 360–510 MPa | 0.758 kNm | 72.6 kN |
| S275J0H | 275 MPa | 430–580 MPa | 0.888 kNm | 84.9 kN |
| S355J2H | 355 MPa | 510–680 MPa | 1.15 kNm | 110 kN |
Ordered in S355J2H, the S235JRH bending capacity of this size is reached with a 1.5 mm wall in the same outer size (1.53 kg/m, 37% lighter).
Indicative values from nominal dimensions: Wel × fy and A × fy, without buckling, cross-section class or partial safety factors. Not a design check.
