Hollow Sections

Structural Hollow Sections for Steel Construction

Forever Steel supplies carbon steel hollow sections, including square, rectangular and circular profiles, for steel structures, machinery frames, fabrication and construction projects. Common buyer requirements include size, wall thickness, length, surface finish and MTC traceability.

Comprehensive Dimensional Range

We utilize advanced cold-forming and high-frequency welding technologies to produce a wide array of profiles:

Square Hollow Sections (SHS): 20mm x 20mm–600mm x 600mm

Rectangular Hollow Sections (RHS): 20mm x 30mm–400mm x 600mm

Circular Hollow Sections (CHS): 21.3mm–1219mm (O.D.)

Wall Thickness (W.T.): 1.2mm–50mm (Tailored to specific structural load requirements).

Global Standards & Material Compliance

Our production strictly adheres to international structural benchmarks, ensuring safety and global project compatibility:

Product type	Typical application	Common standards or grades	Buyer decision points
Square hollow section	Frames, columns, machinery	ASTM A500 Gr B/C, EN 10219 S355	Size, wall thickness, straightness
Rectangular hollow section	Steel structures, supports	ASTM A500, EN 10219	Load direction, welding access
Circular hollow section	Trusses, columns, fabrication	EN 10219, ASTM A500	OD, wall thickness, surface finish
Galvanized hollow section	Outdoor structures	Project specification	Zinc coating and corrosion requirement

Precision End Preparation & Surface Finish

To facilitate seamless on-site assembly and long-term durability:

End Finishing: * Square Cut: Precise 90°cut with professional deburring for modular construction.

Bevelled Ends: Available for thick-walled sections to ensure deep weld penetration.

Surface Protection: * Standard: Light oiling or black varnish for temporary protection.

High Durability: Hot-Dipped Galvanized (HDG) per EN ISO 1461, providing superior atmospheric corrosion resistance.

Pre-Coating: Shop primer (Red/Grey) or powder coating for aesthetic architectural applications.

Critical Industry Applications

Our hollow sections provide the backbone for diverse engineering sectors:

Civil Engineering: Large-span airport terminals, sports stadiums, and high-rise curtain walls.

Infrastructure: Bridge trusses, highway signage supports, and transmission towers.

Machinery Manufacturing: Crane booms, agricultural equipment frames, and automotive chassis.

Solar Energy: Structural mounting systems for large-scale solar farms.

Quality Assurance (QA/QC) & Dimensional Control

Technical Precision: Strict monitoring of corner radii, twist, and straightness to ensure compatibility with automated laser-cutting systems.

Structural Testing: Non-destructive testing (NDT), flattening tests, and Charpy V-notch impact testing for low-temperature applications.

Certification: Mill Test Certificates (MTC) issued per EN 10204 3.1.

Third-Party Verification: Full cooperation with SGS, BV, or TUV for material verification and dimensional audit.

Export Packaging & Logistics Strategy

We prioritize the arrival of your structural components in "Ready-to-Install" condition:

Packaging: * Hexagonal bundles secured with high-tensile steel straps for safe crane handling.

Protective plastic or woven wrapping for galvanized surfaces to prevent "White Rust."

Logistics Security: * Sea-worthy lashing and timber dunnage to prevent shifting in bulk vessels or containers.

Clearly stenciled Heat No., Size, Grade, and Project ID on each bundle for site-side traceability.

Handling: Use of nylon slings to maintain the integrity of the surface finish.
