Applications & Usage

This heavy-duty structural Steel high-strength rectangular tube is commonly specified for framework, support structures, machinery bases, and industrial equipment. The 5mm wall thickness provides superior load-bearing capacity while maintaining workability. The natural mill finish provides a cost-effective solution for applications where aesthetics are secondary. Available in standard lengths of 6m, this profile can be easily cut, drilled, and welded to suit your specific requirements.

High-strength grades for this size

Strength and indicative capacity for each grade this size is rolled in, compared with the S355J2H wall that carries the same bending load in the same outer size.

In S700MC, this section carries more elastic bending load than any S355J2H wall rolled in the same outer size; matching it in S355 needs a larger section.

Indicative values from nominal dimensions: Wel × ReH and A × ReH, without buckling, cross-section class or partial safety factors. Not a design check.
