Hollow sections

Seamless squaring the circle - VTS®-edgeTubes are seamless square and rectangular hollow sections that are primarily used in agriculture, constructions, mechanical engineering and mobility.

Discover the world of seamless hot-rolled hollow sections from voestalpine Tubulars and experience quality, reliability and innovation at first hand. voestalpine Tubulars has many years of experience in the production of seamless round tubes and stands for quality, flexibility and safety. We will thus be able to produce hot-rolled seamless square and rectangular hollow sections up to 20 mm wall thickness.

Technical data - start program

  • Square: 40 x 40 to 170 x 170mm
  • Rectangular: 50 x30 to 200 x 100mm
  • Wall thickness: up to 20 mm (>20 mm on request)
  • Corner radius: Ra ≤ 1.6T (special Ra requirements on request)
  • Lengths: 6.000 mm to 14.000 mm
  • Standards: EN 10210
  • Steel grades: S235 to S890 -> Further steel grades on request
  • Product characteristics

  • Wall thickness -> up to 20 mm
  • Tighter corner radius -> Ra ≤ 1.6T (special Ra requirements on request)
  • Defined design of outsider corner -> due to seamless hot-rolling
  • Larger cross-sectional areas -> due to tigther corner radius
  • Excellent weldability -> less welding filler required
  • Superior load-bearing capacity -> larger spans possible
  • No weld seams -> due to seamless hot-rolling
  • Low residual stress -> due to homogeneous structure
