| Product Name | Rectangular Hollow Section (RHS) Steel Pipe | Cold-formed or hot-formed rectangular structural steel tube |
| Material Grade | S235JR / S355J2 / Q235B / Q355B / ASTM A500 Gr.B / Gr.C | International equivalents: S235JR ≈ Q235B; S355J2 ≈ Q355B; EN 10219 / EN 10210 compliant grades |
| Standard Compliance | EN 10219, EN 10210, ASTM A500, ASTM A513, GB/T 6728, JIS G3466 | Cold-formed (EN 10219 / GB/T 6728) and hot-finished (EN 10210) structural hollow sections |
| Chemical Composition – C | ≤ 0.22% (S355) / ≤ 0.20% (A500 Gr.C) | Carbon content controls weldability and hardness |
| Chemical Composition – Mn | ≤ 1.60% (S355J2) / ≤ 1.35% (A500) | Manganese enhances tensile strength and toughness |
| Chemical Composition – P / S | P ≤ 0.035% / S ≤ 0.035% | Low P and S content ensures improved impact toughness and weldability |
| Chemical Composition – Si | ≤ 0.55% (S355J2) | Silicon acts as deoxidizer; influences yield strength |
| Tensile Strength | 470–630 MPa (S355J2) / ≥ 427 MPa (A500 Gr.C) | Per EN 10219-1 Table 5 and ASTM A500 Table 1; values vary by wall thickness |
| Yield Strength | ≥ 355 MPa (S355, t ≤ 16 mm) / ≥ 317 MPa (A500 Gr.C) | Minimum yield strength decreases with increasing wall thickness per standard tables |
| Elongation | ≥ 22% (S235JR) / ≥ 20% (S355J2) / ≥ 21% (A500 Gr.C) | Measured on gauge length L₀ = 5.65√S₀; ensures ductility for structural applications |
| Size Range | Width: 20×10 mm – 600×400 mm; Wall Thickness: 1.0–25 mm; Length: 6 m / 12 m or custom | Standard and custom sizes available; tolerances per EN 10219-2 or ASTM A500 |
| Surface Finish | Black (mill finish), Hot-Dip Galvanized (HDG), Oiled, Painted, Epoxy Coated | HDG per EN ISO 1461; zinc coating ≥ 45–85 μm depending on material thickness |
| Application | Structural frameworks, construction columns/beams, machinery, furniture, agricultural equipment, offshore structures | Widely used in civil engineering, industrial fabrication, and modular construction |
| Certification | ISO 9001:2015, CE Marking (EN 1090), Mill Test Certificate (EN 10204 3.1 / 3.2) | Third-party inspection available: SGS, BV, TÜV; full traceability documentation provided |
| Packaging | Bundled in steel straps (1–3 MT per bundle); wooden dunnage; seaworthy export packing available | Bundle weight and dimensions customized per shipping requirements; end caps on request |
| MOQ | 5 Metric Tons (standard sizes) / 1 Metric Ton (non-standard or cut-to-length) | Mixed size orders accepted; lead time 7–25 days depending on specification and quantity |
We ordered 30 tonnes of 80×40×4mm primed RHS to ASTM A500 Grade B for agricultural equipment frames. On receipt, roughly 15% of the bundle showed thin primer coverage on one face, likely a handling issue during the coating process. We raised it immediately and the supplier arranged a credit and dispatched replacement sections within 10 days — no dispute, no delays. The steel substrate and mechanical properties were fine throughout. The after-sales response was handled professionally, which matters. We're giving this a fair rating because the core product is good and the issue was addressed; we'll trial another order to see if the coating QC has improved.
