Steel Rectangular Tubes

Listing ID #4876731

Steel Rectangular Tubes are also referred to as Hollow Structural Sections. This is a terminology most commonly used in Engineering and Construction. The manufacturing process of Steel Rectangular Tubes does not vary greatly from that of Square Rectangular Tubes or Pipes. First, a flat steel plate is moulded to change shape. The edges are refined and readied for welding. The edges are then welded to form the mother tube. The mother tube is then passed through a series of shaping strands. These strands turn the mother tube into the desired shape (steel or rectangular). Steel Rectangular Tubes conform to the American ASTM A500 or ASTM A1085 Standards. To improve the fire rating and robustness of Steel Rectangular Tubes, it is usually filled with concrete.

Steel Rectangular Tubes are used in various industries and in different applications. Common Industrial Applications include where extreme temperature, pressure and destructive tolerance is required. Common Domestic Applications include Kitchen Appliances and Gas Pipes. The Construction and Engineering Industry uses Steel Rectangular Tubes for welded steel frames and steel scaffolding. Automobile manufacturers use them for internal vehicle parts like the Fuel Injection system and Vehicle Control System. More applications include manufacture of Furniture, Display Stands, Shop Fittings, Clothes Rails, Storage, Racking, and General Steel Fabrications. Steel Rectangular Tubes are best suited for mechanical uses because it has close tolerance, good finish, and dense structure.
