Structural hollow sections


Structural hollow with circular cross section are a significant part of all types of steel constructions in the industry and in the construction business. Structural hollow sections that are of a common diameter are produced using the hot rolling process.

Tubes of small diameters and tubes used in the construction business having thick wall are produced using the cold drawing process with a subsequent heat treatment.

Length of the structural hollow sections


Length [m]for sizes [mm]
5 – 6D < 60,3
5 – 6 or 10 – 14
(upon agreement 22,4)
D => 60,3 and t < 7,1
5 – 6D => 60,3 and t => 7,1
Types of supplied length of tubes are:
(a) random length,

Marking of structural hollow sections and tube bundles

(a) without marking,
(b) marked with colored stripes on the tubes (tube bundles),
(c) marked with spray either by a white or black color using InkJet,
(d) marked by stamping the data (this applies to OD > 22 mm and WT >2.3 mm).

Bundles of tubes are marked with one or more labels with the required data.

Allowed straightness is 0.002 multiple of the tube length, for 1 meter length the allowed straightness is 3 millimeters.

The tubes are hot rolled above the transformation temperature and they are not heat treated.

The structure’s condition corresponds to normalized annealing.
