Hollow Section
The term “Hollow Section” (HSS: Hollow Structural Section) refers to a type of metal profile with a hollow tubular cross-section. Hollow sections are important for their use in the construction industry because they offer many benefits. For example, they have a high strength-to-weight ratio which makes them ideal for use in load-bearing applications. They are also very stiff and resistant to torsional forces, making them ideal for use in columns and beams. In addition, hollow sections offer good resistance to impact and abrasion, making them suitable for use in structural applications where there is a risk of impact or abrasion. Finally, hollow sections have a very high resistance to corrosion and are therefore often used in corrosive environments such as offshore oil.

Product Details

Types Of Hollow Section(Square / Circular/ Rectangular Hollow Section)


Hollow Section pipe is available in a variety of shapes, circular hollow section, rectangular hollow section pipe, and square hollow structural section. 


Different From SHS/ RHS/ CHS Section Pipe


Square Hollow Section (SHS)?

Advantage: square, all right-angled edges

Characteristics: Higher symmetry compared to RHS, more conducive to joining and welding. Uniform surface, suitable for coating.

Application: Commonly used in frame structures of buildings, brackets of manufacturing equipment, etc.

What is Rectangular Hollow Section (RHS)?

Advantages: rectangular shape, different lengths on both sides of the edge

Characteristics: Great bending strength, especially when loaded with long sides. But also due to its asymmetry, the load capacity changes

Application: For load-bearing beams, door frames, machine frames and structures requiring strength in different directions.

What is Circular Hollow Section (CHS)?

Advantages: symmetrical shape, can accept forces from all directions, balanced performance under load.

Characteristics: excellent torsional and rotational properties, good mechanical properties, can do fluid transportation

Applications: construction, support. Railing and other occasions that require uniform force

Main Features and Applications

Advantage

1.Higher bending strength: When the solid cross-sectional area and the annular cross-sectional area are equal, the bending resistance of the hollow section will increase by more than 112% than that of the solid beam, that is, the bending resistance has more than doubled. This is because the wall of the hollow section is like a series of connected arched bridges. The various arched parts squeeze and support each other, making it difficult for the tube to bend in any direction.

2.Lighter weight: Hollow section has a lighter mass, which gives it a significant advantage in applications where weight reduction is required. For example, in automobile manufacturing, the use of hollow aluminum tubes can reduce the weight of the entire vehicle, thereby improving fuel economy.

3.Higher material utilization: The design of the hollow section makes the material more fully utilized. Compared with the solid tube, the same material can make a longer or larger diameter hollow section.

4.High temperature resistance and corrosion resistance: Some hollow sections, such as stainless steel hollow pipes, have high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance, which makes them widely used in some special environments.

Application

1.Construction field: Hollow sections are widely used in the construction field, such as hollow aluminum plates and hollow stainless steel plates in building exterior curtain walls, as well as building roofs, walls and structural supports.

2.Automobile manufacturing: Hollow sections are increasingly used in automobile manufacturing, such as automobile air conditioners, radiators, hydraulic systems, luggage racks, chassis and other components.

3.Aerospace: The aerospace field has high requirements for manufacturing materials, which require materials to be lightweight, high-strength, rigid, and able to withstand high temperatures, high pressures, and heavy loads. Hollow sections have these properties and are therefore widely used in the aerospace industry.

4.Medical devices: Hollow sections are also widely used in the field of medical devices, such as surgical instruments. These instruments not only look beautiful, but are also resistant to high temperatures, corrosion, and wear.

5.Piping system: Hollow-section seamless steel pipes are widely used in piping systems for oil, water and other fluids and some solid materials.Hollow Section.jpg
