Square Hollow Section (SHS) - for balanced strength, symmetry and aesthetics

SHS , an "equal-sided" symmetry possess the inherent flat surfaces for better connectivity. When a balance is required between strength and functionality, SHS are commonly used in many structural and mechanical applications.

Applications

Furniture industries & domestic applications, Automatic Chasis, Cabins, Bus stands, Milk Booths, Scaffoldings, Cranes, Material Storage Racks, Furniture partition frame work, Pallets, Guard Rails, Staircases, Hand railings, fencing poles Hydraulic Platforms, Truck & Bus body Members Trusses, Columns & Purlins, Trolleys etc

Rectangular Hollow Sections (RHS) - for strength and economy.

RHS have also become very popular in many forms of construction and other structural & mechanical applications. This has been greatly assisted by the section's inherent flat surfaces making it more economical for joining and other fabrication processes. Minimal edge preparation is required for joining and welding RHS.

Advantage of Using Closed Structural ( RHS / SHS)
Specification ( RHS / SHS)

Closed Structural (RHS / SHS) pipes command several tech no-economic advantages over Conventional Structurals.

  • The Raw material for these structurals comes from sail.
  • The excellent distribution of the materials around the axis of Closed Structurals exhibit remarkable strength qualities and thus offer decisive advantages as regards to applications technology.
  • Due to their high torsional rigidity and compressive strength, Closed Structurals behave more efficiently than Conventional Structurals
  • Their higher strength to weight ratio results in upto 40% savings in steel.
  • The smooth, uniform profile of these sections minimise corrosion and facilitate easy, at-site fabrication.
  • Closed Structurals also enhance the aesthetic appeal of structures.
The Question of Internal Corrosion
  • Internal corrosion can not occur in sealed RHS/ SHS as moistture is excluded and oxygen unreplenished.
  • Outer smooth profiles ensures no ttrap of dirt and water, thus reducing the chance of corrosion reaction.
