🛠 160×160×8,0 mm profile tube is the most heavy-duty square section for major structures
Profile tube 160×160 mm with wall thickness 8,0 mm is the most powerful thick-walled square in the catalog. Electric-resistance-welded steel tube made from grade Ст3 (С235), weighing 38,18 kg/m due to the very large section and thick wall 8,0 mm provides maximum load-bearing capacity for the most critical structures. It is chosen for crane columns, major industrial frames, supports for very heavy equipment and heavy-duty trusses with a long span.
🏗️ Main areas of application:
- Crane columns: power vertical elements with the greatest safety margin.
- Major industrial frames: designs for very heavy equipment.
- Supports of large structures and heavy-duty trusses: load-bearing elements with extreme forces.
- The most critical structural joints: maximum load-bearing capacity requirements.
✅ Advantages of the steel pipe from SteelStream
We supply profile tubes in standard 6 m lengths in accordance with ГОСТ 8639-82 / ДСТУ EN 10219. A complete table of weights, cross-section, wall thickness and tolerances is in structural hollow section technical guide.
- Exact weight: you pay for the actual linear length, without the lightweight wall.
- Fair Cut: real 160×160×8,0 mm, smooth butt welding geometry.
- Thick wall: 8,0 mm is the maximum load-bearing capacity among the squares.
