European Hollow Sections

European Hollow Sections

European Hollow Sections are closed-profile structural steel sections used for structural framing, columns, supports, trusses, bracing and fabricated assemblies.

Depending on their geometry, European Hollow Sections are commonly classified as:

  • SHS – Square Hollow Sections
  • RHS – Rectangular Hollow Sections
  • CHS – Circular Hollow Sections
Square Hollow Sections (SHS)

SHS have equal outside dimensions on four sides and provide a symmetrical closed profile. They are commonly used for columns, frames, supports, trusses, bracing and fabricated structural assemblies.

Rectangular Hollow Sections (RHS)

RHS have different outside width and height dimensions. They provide flexibility for structural frameworks and fabricated applications where a rectangular profile is preferred.

Circular Hollow Sections (CHS)

CHS have a circular closed profile and are commonly used for tubular structures, columns, towers, supports, trusses and engineering applications where a round section is specified.

European Hollow Sections are specified according to applicable EN standards, with material grades selected according to the required mechanical properties and project specifications. Common structural steel grades may include S235JR, S275JR, S355JR and S355J2, subject to the applicable specification.

At Moksh Tubes & Fittings LLP, we support European Hollow Section requirements based on customer drawings, technical specifications and project requirements. Customers can specify the required HSS profile, dimensions, wall thickness, material grade, length and quantity.

European Hollow Sections can also be used together with European Structural Angles, Channels, Beams and Columns to create complete steel frameworks and fabricated structural assemblies.

For an accurate quotation, customers can provide their required section type, dimensions, wall thickness, grade, length and quantity, along with project drawings or technical documentation where required.
