What is a SHS column?
SHS columns (square hollow section) & RHS columns (rectangular hollow section) are available in a wide range of sizes commonly used to create structural steel columns for residential housing and commercial building applications.
What is Shs size?
Sizes of SHS range from 20mm x 20mm x 1.6mm wall thickness up to 350mm x 350mm x 16.0mm wall thickness. Sizes of RHS range from 50mm x 20mm x 2.0 wall thickness up to 300mm x 200mm x 9.0mm wall thickness. Standard stock lengths are 8 mtrs – 6.5m or 12 m are available in some sizes.
What does SHS mean in building?
SHS stands for square hollow section. RHS stands for rectangular hollow section. These two specific types of steel hollow sections are designed to provide a combination of strength and functionality which makes them suitable for a wide variety of applications.
What is a SHS frame?
Square Hollow Section – Painted – as the name suggests is square steel with a hollow core and is painted black Steel, AS1163/C350LO. SHS come in a range of wall heights and thicknesses and is commonly used for the manufacture of frames, in commercial & domestic construction and in handyman projects for gates and posts.
What is SHS steel beam?
SHS Beams. Square Hollow Section (SHS) (P), also known as Cold Formed Square Hollow or Square Mild Steel Hollow. SHS beams are rarely used as beams due to their shape, which makes it difficult to bolt to other beams. SHSs are often called “box sections”.
What does CHS steel stand for?
CHC – Circular hollow sections. Circular hollow sections (CHS) are a type of metal profile with a hollow tubular cross section with a uniform wall thickness around the sections and excellent resistance to torsion.
What is SHS steel?
Square hollow sections (SHS) is another popular type of structural steel tube that’s kind of a middle-man between RHS and CHS in terms of attributes, appearance and structural behavior. SHS features a flat surface that’s also economical for joining and welding, with clean lines and minimal edge preparation required.
How do you calculate SHS weight?
MILD STEEL (SHS) SQUARE STEEL HOLLOW SECTION: For your information Kg/m refers to the Kilograms per Metre of the section, as an example a 4.200 Metre length of 40 x 40 x 3mm (SHS) Square Steel Hollow Section (3.45 Kg/m) would weigh (4.2 x 3.45) 14.49 Kg’s Total.
What does SSS mean?
SSS

What is RHS post?
Rectangular hollow sections (RHS) is a popular choice for mechanical, structural and construction applications. Due to the rectangular shape of this type of hollow section, when joining to other flat surfaces sections only need to be straight cut. RHS requires minimal edge preparation for welding or joining.
What is CHS column?
Circular Hollow Sections (CHS) are round tubular steel sections that are used for a variety of purposes in civil engineering. They are usually available in the market as hot-rolled or cold-formed sections. Cold-formed sections are usually used as purlins and as framing for lightweight building construction.
What are SHSS made of?
Available as hot SHSs, made at the mill as one piece, or cold rolled SHSs are made of a flat sheet rolled at right angles and welded. If you can’t see what your looking for below then get in touch an we can advise.
What is a square hollow section (SHS)?
Square Hollow Sections (SHS) are often used for columns, however similarly to RHS sections, they are not often used as beams due to their shape that makes it difficult to bolt to other beams and vice versa. SHSs are often called “box sections”. An example is 100 x 100 x 10 SHS, which is 100 mm deep, 100 mm wide and the wall is 10 mm thick.
What is the difference between RHS and SHS?
SHSs are often called “box sections”. An example is 100 x 100 x 10 SHS, which is 100 mm deep, 100 mm wide and the wall is 10 mm thick. Similar to RHS sections, hot rolled SHSs are made at the mill as one piece, whereas cold formed SHSs are made of a flat sheet rolled at right angles and welded.
