Structural steel tube from BlueScope Distribution

Structural steel tube is a hollow section of steel manufactured using hot rolls, manipulated to the desired shape/dimensions, and then welded in place to create one uniform length of steel. It has a low weight-to-strength ratio and can be easily produced to a range of specifications suitable for any project.

The standardised nature of hollow steel sections allows for ease of use as the uniform dimensions, shapes and load-bearing capacity of specific tube does not vary. Furthermore, thanks to these traits, hollow steel sections lend themselves to relatively simple modification and assembly for structural purposes, making them a popular material of preference in construction.

BlueScope Distribution’s experienced team can assist businesses in identifying whether structural tubing is the correct choice for their projects, determine which hollow steel section might be best suited for use, and assist in delivering the product as required.
