Square tube is formed from coil and then ran through a series of dies. It’s welded from the inside to form its shape. Square tubes are generally used for maintenance and structural purposes.
Some examples of square tubing applications would be building construction, railings, and sign posts. They are measured by their outside dimensions and their wall thickness.
Square Tube is available in the following metal types:
Alloy Steel
Mild Stee
Carbon Steel
Stainless Steel
Square tube has similar uses to RHS and is used for both industrial and construction applications. Square section RHS is available in the same thicknesses as RHS and dimensions range from 20 mm x 20 mm to 400 mm x 400 mm.
