SHS Full Form

SHS full form is Square Hollow Section

SHS stands for Square Hollow Section, a type of structural steel pipe. It is typically manufactured by cold-forming and welding steel plates. This category also includes CHS (Circular Hollow Section) and RHS (Rectangular Hollow Section) structural steels. SHS is widely used in construction and bridge engineering due to its high strength and load-bearing capacity.
SHS Features:

  • All four sides are of equal length, and the corners are rounded.
  • Dimensions: 20×20 mm – 500×500 mm
  • Materials: ASTM A500 / EN 10219 / Q195 / Q235 / Q355
  • Process: Cold forming; high-end products may be hot-formed. Hot-formed products exhibit more uniform properties.

Common dimensions for Square Hollow Sections include:

Small sizes: Used for furniture, guardrails, etc.
· 20 × 20 × 1.0–2.0 mm
· 25 × 25 × 1.2–2.5 mm
· 30 × 30 × 1.2–3.0 mm
