Square tube
The square tube, one of the most fundamental and efficient structural sections, plays a central role in modern steel construction, machinery manufacturing, and architectural decoration due to its symmetrical cross-section and exceptional bending/torsional resistance. We supply a comprehensive range of welded (ERW) and cold-formed square tubes, in materials from Q235B and Q355B to high-strength S355JR, strictly adhering to GB/T 6728, ASTM A500, EN 10219, and other international standards. Our products meet diverse needs from heavy-duty framing to lightweight aesthetic structures. |

Key Advantages
Superior Structural Efficiency: The square section provides excellent and balanced section modulus and moment of inertia about both principal axes, offering great bending and torsional resistance, ideal for building stable frames.
Aesthetic & Versatile: The clean geometric shape blends easily with other materials, is suitable for exposed architectural features, and readily accepts paints, coatings, and other finishes.
Excellent Fabrication & Connectivity: Flat surfaces facilitate easy cutting, drilling, welding, and bolting. Enables quick and robust assembly using standard connectors (gussets, cleats).
Lightweight & Cost-Effective: Offers material savings and reduced structural weight compared to solid sections, providing equivalent load capacity while lowering overall costs. Cold-formed tubes are especially suitable for weight-sensitive applications.
Primary Applications
Building Structures: Columns, beams, handrails, canopy frames, and curtain wall supports for steel structures.
Machinery & Equipment: Machine guards, equipment frames, conveyor supports, automation equipment framing.
Transportation & Vehicles: Truck body frames, bus luggage racks, public transport shelters, road guardrails.
Furniture & Displays: Frames for modern steel-wood furniture, retail display racks, exhibition booth structures.
Infrastructure: Solar PV mounting structures, communication towers, and agricultural greenhouse frames.
