Rectangular Pipes

Category:

Steel Rectangular Pipes, also known as Rectangular Hollow Sections (RHS), are hollow steel tubes with a rectangular cross-section. They are manufactured from mild steel, stainless steel, or galvanized steel, making them strong, durable, and versatile for structural and mechanical applications.

Description

Key Features

  • Shape: Rectangular cross-section with flat surfaces.

  • Material: Mild Steel (MS), Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel, or Galvanized Steel.

  • Manufacturing Methods:

    • ERW (Electric Resistance Welded) – formed by rolling steel and welding the seam.

    • Seamless – no weld, higher strength, used in heavy-duty applications.

  • Standards: IS (India), ASTM (USA), EN (Europe), JIS (Japan).

  • Surface Finish: Black, pickled & oiled, galvanized, or powder coated.

Applications

Steel Rectangular Pipes are widely used due to their strength, durability, and flat surface design:

  • Construction & Infrastructure: Columns, beams, trusses, bridges, warehouses.

  • Industrial: Machinery frames, conveyors, fabrication, support structures.

  • Automotive: Vehicle chassis, trailers, body structures.

  • Furniture: Tables, chairs, storage racks, shelving.

  • Agriculture: Greenhouses, fencing, irrigation structures.

  • Architectural & Decorative: Railings, gates, partitions, modern designs.

Advantages

  • High Strength & Load Bearing Capacity – supports heavy loads with less material.

  • Corrosion Resistance (especially galvanized & stainless steel versions).

  • Versatility – can be cut, welded, drilled, or bent easily.

  • Flat Surfaces – easy for fabrication, bolting, and joining.

  • Cost-Effective & Durable – long service life with minimal maintenance.
