Rectangular Hollow Section (RHS)

Where a beam needs depth and a column needs width, the rectangle wins: an 80×40×3 rail, a 100×200×5 purlin-free rafter, a 60×120 trailer chassis member. We roll the widest rectangular range in the Marmara region and keep the sizes that builders and body-makers order weekly on the ground.

What is Rectangular hollow sections?

A rectangular hollow section is the square tube's longer cousin: the same cold-forming and high-frequency welding from hot-rolled strip, sized to a rectangle whose depth is 1.5 to 3 times its width. The extra depth puts steel where a beam wants it, so an RHS resists bending about its strong axis far better than an SHS of the same weight while keeping a closed, torsion-stiff, easy-to-clad shape — which is why rafters, purlin-free portal frames, trailer chassis, side rails, gate and door frames and machine bases are built from it. EN 10219 sets the tolerances and the grades (S235JRH, S275J0H, S355J2H); the mass is calculated per EN 10219-2 with corner radii of 1.6–2.4 t. Our Dilovası mill rolls it from 10×20×1.2 (furniture tube) to 200×300×10 (structural), and the table above is the real list — every size, every wall, every weight — not a generic catalogue. S235JRH is the stock grade, S355J2H is rolled for the structural sizes above 100 mm.

Where it is used

  • Rafters, purlins and portal frames in light steel buildings

  • Sign posts, canopies and shade structures
  • Furniture, shelving and display frames (small sizes)

RHS vs SHS — which to choose

If the member bends mainly in one direction (a beam, a rail, a rafter), the rectangle gives the same capacity for less weight; if it is a column, a post or a member loaded both ways, the square section is stiffer overall and easier to connect. Orientation matters: an RHS on its side loses most of its advantage. See the overview hollow sections, and the coated variants galvanized rectangular tube and pre-painted box section.

Price

Rectangular tube shares the tube-mill price list with square tube; the bands below separate the volume range, the thin-wall small sizes and the heavy sizes. S355J2H, cutting and coatings are added per ton or per piece.

Frequently asked questions

What is a rectangular hollow section?

A cold-formed, HF-welded rectangular steel tube to EN 10219 — rectangular tube, RHS or box section — from 10×20 to 200×300 mm in 1.2–10 mm walls.

How much does 40×80×2 rectangular tube weigh?

3.60 kg/m — 21.6 kg per 6 m bar; 50×100×3 is 6.71 kg/m and 100×200×5 is 22.7 kg/m (see the table for every size).

What is the largest rectangular tube you make?

200×300 mm with walls up to 10 mm; larger sections are supplied from partner mills to order.

Which way should an RHS be installed?

With the long side vertical (in the direction of the load) for beams and rafters — that is where the extra depth gives its strength.

What grade are rectangular hollow sections?

S235JRH as standard, S355J2H for structural sizes over 100 mm, ASTM A500 to order.
