SQUARE HOLLOW SECTION

Square hollow sections (SHS)

SHS have a square cross-section and are easier to fabricate than CHS. They are often used in applications where aesthetics are important, such as railings, fencing, and architectural features.

SHS are available in a wide range of sizes, from small diameter tubes with wall thicknesses of a few millimeters to large diameter tubes with wall thicknesses of several centimeters. SHS can also be manufactured to different lengths, depending on the specific application.

Once manufactured, SHS can be further processed to meet the specific requirements of the application. For example, SHS can be galvanized to protect them from corrosion, or they can be painted to achieve a desired aesthetic appearance.

SHS are a versatile and efficient type of structural member that can be used in a wide variety of applications. They offer a number of advantages over other types of structural members, such as a high strength-to-weight ratio, improved stiffness, better torsional resistance, and greater versatility.
