Steel Square Tubes

The making of Steel Square Tubes follows the same process that is used to make Steel Rectangular Tubes wherein a flat steel plate is moulded and the edges are refined. It is prepared for welding where the edges are welded to form the mother tube. The mother tube then goes through a series of shaping strands. When the mother tube is in the shaping strand, it is given a square shape, instead of rectangular. The four angles in a Steel Square Tube are highly uniform with high intensity. Steel Square Tubes have low manufacturing cost. Its high strength-to-weight ratio makes it desirable for welding, forming, punching and drilling. Steel Square Tubes are lightweight alternatives to solid steel products such as I-Beams and Wide Flanges.

Square and Rectangular Steel Tubes differ in characteristics but they are both used in Building and Construction Applications. They are mostly used to get maximum floor area in steel housing and high rise steel buildings. Steel Square Tubes can be easily recycled. Buildings, Highway Guardrails, Signage, Support Columns, Trusses, Bridges, Heavy Equipment, Storage Systems, and Exercise Equipment use Steel Square Tubes. Other Industries that make use of Steel Square Tubes include the Furniture Industry, and for Domestic Applications like Bus Body, Fencing etc. Stainless Steel Square Tubes are mostly used in applications where the Tubes are exposed to water like the Construction, Automotive, Appliances, Furniture, and Agriculture Industries. Major Applications of Stainless Steel Square Tubes include Fabrication of Containers, Architecture, Conveyors, Bicycles, Automotive Fabrications, Structural Support for Industrial Plants, Buildings and Bridges, and for General Engineering Purposes.
