What is Rectangular Hollow Section?

A rectangular hollow section, also known as RHS steel, is a type of steel pipe that is characterized by its rectangular cross-sectional shape. RHS steel is often used in construction and engineering, as it provides good structural support. It can also be galvanized, which means that it has been coated with a thin layer of zinc to protect it from corrosion. Rectangular hollow section steel is available in a variety of sizes and thicknesses, making it a versatile material for a wide range of applications.

Application of Rectangular Hollow Section

Rectangular Hollow Section (RHS) has intrinsically flat surfaces, which makes joining and manufacturing cheaper. It is widely used in machinery manufacturing, construction industry, metallurgical industry, agricultural vehicles, agricultural greenhouses, automobile industry, railway, highway guardrail, container skeleton, furniture, decoration, and steel structure.

Appearance of Rectangular Hollow Section

The pipe’s external and inner surfaces must be smooth, devoid of fissures, cracks, material overlay, and non-metallic impurities. Small scratches, dents, a thin layer of welding cinder, or traces left after cleaning manufacturing flaws are permitted, as long as the wall thickness does not fall below the minimum authorized limitations. The weld shall be compact and continuous, and shall not have cracks or other defects that reduce the weld resistance under the resistance of the base metal.

The welding seam’s external ledge is eliminated. Thickening of the seam is acceptable within the range of authorized diameter restrictions. The welding seam’s inside burr is not eliminated. Unevenness on the metal strip’s borders in the welding seam is not permitted. The pipe’s ends must be cut perpendicular to its axis. It is permissible to have a burr on the pipe ends as a result of the cutting operation. Pipe end deformation is not permitted.

Delivery Conditions of Rectangular Hollow Section

After cold rolling, the steel plates are left untreated. On both the external and internal surfaces, emulsion tracks and tiny oxidation tracks may emerge. On the external surfaces of the sections, an oil coating provides provisional corrosion protection. On request, one may withdraw this form of protection.
