Material and Size Specifications of Steel Box Sections

The steel used in our box sections conform to specific grades according to international standards like ASTM, ISO, or EN. Common grades include ASTM A500, which covers cold-formed welded and seamless carbon steel structural tubing in round, square, and rectangular shapes. The steel can be further treated through processes such as galvanization to enhance its resistance to corrosion and increase its longevity, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.

Our steel box sections come in a variety of sizes, typically ranging from 20mm x 20mm up to 50mm x 50mm.

The applications of steel box sections are broad and varied. In construction, they are used for frames in buildings, bridges, and other structures due to their ability to support heavy loads.

In industrial contexts, box sections are used in manufacturing machinery and in the automotive industry due to their strength and resilience. Additionally, in the field of signage and support, they provide a robust framework that is capable of withstanding environmental stresses.

Advantages of Steel Box Sections

Strength and Durability: Steel box sections provide significant resistance against deformation, which is crucial for structures that need to withstand variable loads.

Cost-effective: They are an economically favourable option due to their method of construction and material efficiency. The ability to choose from a range of thicknesses and sizes also helps in optimising the cost.

Aesthetic Flexibility: Their clean, sharp lines are aesthetically pleasing, making them a favourite in modern architectural design.

Ease of Use: Steel box sections are easy to join and install, and they can be cut to size on site, facilitating speedy construction and modifications.

FAQ

Steel box sections, also known as hollow structural sections (HSS), are tubular steel products with a square or rectangular cross-section. They are used extensively in the construction of buildings and bridges, as well as in manufacturing frameworks for machinery and in the automotive industry. Due to their high strength-to-weight ratio, they are ideal for both structural support and aesthetic architectural features.

Steel box sections offer several advantages:

Strength and Durability: They can support heavy loads and resist bending and torsion, making them suitable for a wide range of structural applications.

Weight Efficiency: Their hollow structure provides strength without excessive weight, which can be beneficial in reducing the overall weight of structures.

Aesthetic Appeal: With clean and sharp lines, they are visually appealing and can be left exposed in design projects to enhance architectural aesthetics.

Recyclability: Steel is a sustainable material as it is 100% recyclable, making steel box sections an environmentally friendly choice.

Cost-effectiveness: Their production and material efficiency make them a cost-effective option for large-scale construction projects.

Maintenance of steel box sections involves regular inspections to check for signs of wear such as rust or corrosion, particularly in harsh environments. Protective measures include:

Painting or Coating: Applying protective paints or coatings can prevent rust and extend their lifespan.

Galvanising: This process involves coating the steel with a layer of zinc for added protection against corrosion.

Cleaning: Regular cleaning to remove dirt, grime, and chemical deposits can also help maintain the integrity of the steel. Proper installation and maintenance ensure that steel box sections can last for decades, providing reliable and durable support for a variety of structures.
