Galvanized Seamless Square Steel Tube with Schedule Wall Thickness

Jointless square section with heavy schedule walls and a zinc coated surface

Galvanized seamless square steel pipe is a long pipe of steel with a hollow section and no joint around it, with the outer surface galvanized after forming. Fabricators choose it over welded square tube where the member has to be machined, drilled or loaded hard enough that a longitudinal weld would become the first thing to fail, and it is offered in A53 Gr A and Gr B, A106 Gr A and Gr B, A333 Gr 1 Gr 3 and Gr 6, and S355JR S355JO and S355J2. Having the heavy schedule walls up to 80mm available in a square profile removes the usual workaround of fabricating a box from four plates and welding the corners. Lengths come 5.8m and 6m fixed, 12m fixed, or 2-12m random.

Why It Is Specified

Key Benefits of Galvanized Seamless Square Steel Pipe

A Box Section Without Corner Welds

The section has no joint around it, so there are no corner seams to prepare weld and inspect the way a plate fabricated box needs. That removes a fabrication step and the distortion that comes with it.

Heavy Walls In A Square Profile

Wall goes from 1.65mm up to 80mm through the SCH5S to SCH160 range, which covers square members that are normally only available as built up boxes.

Machinable Wall For Drilled And Bored Features

A jointless wall means a hole can be drilled or bored anywhere on the face without hitting a weld line with different hardness and different chemistry.

Four Grade Families On One Order

A53 for general use, A106 for elevated temperature duty, A333 for low temperature service and S355 for structural loading all come from the same range.

Zinc Coating For Outdoor And Buried Positions

The galvanized surface protects the member where it is exposed to weather soil or wash down without a shop painting stage.

Fixed Or Random Length Supply

5.8m, 6m and 12m fixed lengths suit a repeating member, while 2-12m random lets a cutting shop nest its list and cut the scrap out.

Problems It Solves

What This Material Removes From Your Process

Welding Boxes Up From Four Plates

A fabricated box needs four corner welds, weld preparation, inspection and straightening after distortion. A section with no joint around it arrives as one piece.

Drilled Holes Landing On A Weld Line

In a welded tube the seam has different hardness and different residual stress. A seamless wall lets a hole go anywhere on the face without a machining surprise.

Square Members Not Available In Heavy Wall

Light welded square tube tops out well below what some frames need. Schedule walls up to 80mm bring the heavy end of the range into a square profile.

Corrosion On Outdoor Structural Members

Members painted in the shop need recoating once they have been handled and erected. A galvanized surface reaches the structure already protected.

Cold Service Handled As An Afterthought

Substituting an ambient grade into a low temperature position risks brittle behavior. A333 Gr 1 Gr 3 and Gr 6 are quoted from the same list so the right grade is used from the start.

Application Scenarios

Where It Is Used

Heavy Machine Bases And Equipment Frames

Thick wall square members used where the frame is bolted bored and aligned rather than just welded together.

Crane And Lifting Equipment Components

Square sections in booms and outrigger housings where load path and wall integrity matter more than section weight.

Low Temperature Plant Supports

A333 Gr 3 and Gr 6 square members used around cold service equipment where impact toughness governs.

Marine Deck And Coastal Structures

Galvanized members on decks jetties and shoreline equipment in salt laden air.

Hydraulic Cylinder And Actuator Housings

Seamless square sections used as housings and guides where the bore has to be finished after forming.

Foundation Sleeves And Ground Sockets

Heavy wall square sections cast into concrete or driven as sockets for post and column bases.

Comparison

Galvanized Seamless Square Steel Pipe Against the Alternatives

Welded square hollow sectionThere is no joint around the seamless section, so no seam to align away from drilled holes or to inspect after loading.
Box section fabricated from four platesThe section arrives as one piece, which removes four corner welds the associated preparation and the straightening after weld distortion.
Bare seamless square tubeThe galvanized outer surface protects the member in outdoor buried and wash down positions without a shop painting stage.
Light wall welded square tubeSchedule walls up to 80mm put heavy sections into a square profile that thin welded tube cannot cover.
Use Guide

Specifying Handling and Welding Notes

  • Give the face dimensions the wall schedule and the grade together so the section can be confirmed against the published range
  • Pick A106 for elevated temperature positions and A333 where the design temperature drops into low temperature service
  • Grind the zinc back from weld areas before joining and reinstate the coating on the finished joint
  • Plan machined features away from the corner radii where the wall shape changes
  • Use 2-12m random supply when your cutting list can be nested and fixed lengths when members repeat
  • Store bundles on bearers with air gaps so moisture does not stay trapped against the coated faces
Questions Buyers Ask

Galvanized Seamless Square Steel Pipe FAQ

How heavy a wall can you supply in square section?

Wall runs from 1.65mm to 80mm across SCH5S, SCH10S, SCH20S, SCH20, SCH30, STD, SCH40, SCH60, SCH80, SCH100, SCH140, SCH160 and XS.

Can we machine into the face of this section?

Yes. There is no joint around the section, so a drilled or bored feature does not have to be placed away from a weld line.

Which grade should we use for a cold service support?

A333 Gr 1, Gr 3 and Gr 6 are the low temperature grades on the list. Send the design temperature and the grade will be confirmed against it.

What lengths do you cut?

5.8m and 6m fixed, 12m fixed, or 2-12m random. Customized lengths are cut to your member schedule.

Is a sample or trial length available before a full order?

Send the face size, wall schedule and grade you want to evaluate and we will confirm what can be released for your trial.

Do you supply outside dimensions beyond the standard range?

The published range covers 1/2 inch to 48 inch, and anything outside it is quoted as customized. Give the outside dimensions and wall you need.

What documentation comes with the material?

A mill test certificate for the supplied grade, and the product is covered by ISO9001, BV, SGS and RoHS certification.
