450x450x18mm  Steel square hollow section S235JRH, S275J0H, S355J2H

450×450×18 mm S235JRH Steel Square Hollow Section

450x450x18mm cold-formed ERW square hollow section to EN 10219, rolled in S235JRH, S275J0H or S355J2H depending on size, supplied with an uncoated steel surface suitable for further processing or painting.

Minimum order

Minimum 10 t per size. If the size is already in the current production cycle, we can accept orders from 5 t. Standard length 6 m; 4–12 m on request. We confirm the minimum, lead time and grade in your quote.

Weight per meter:233.25 kg/m
Total length:6 meters
Total weight:1399.5 kg

Applications & Usage

Equal sides carry load about both axes, so this square hollow section is specified for columns, posts, gates, and frames, and the closed section resists torsion better than an open profile of similar weight. Supplied black, with a red-oxide shop primer, or hot-dip galvanized; the internal weld bead can be removed on request on most sizes.

Grade strength and capacity

Minimum strength of each grade this size is rolled in, with the indicative capacity of the section.

S235JRH225 MPa360–510 MPa899 kNm6686 kN
S275J0H265 MPa410–560 MPa1059 kNm7874 kN

Ordered in S355J2H, the S235JRH bending capacity of this size is reached with a 12 mm wall in the same outer size (160 kg/m, 31% lighter).

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