160 x 80 x 8.0 Rectangular Hollow Section S355
The 160 x 80 x 8.0 Rectangular Hollow Section S355 is a rectangular hollow section measuring 160 × 80 mm — a closed box that is deliberately deeper than it is wide, so it spans like a beam but still resists twist like a tube. The closed profile means no lateral-torsional buckling check in the way an I-beam needs one, which often makes an RHS the simpler choice for an unrestrained span.

At 23 kg per metre, one tonne buys roughly 43.5 linear metres. It is heavy enough to need mechanical handling on site, but light enough that a standard HIAB offload covers delivery in one visit. Standard supply is S355 to BS EN 10210 / BS EN 10219, with fabrication carried out here before dispatch. Every order carries EN 10204 3.1 mill certification and is CE marked under BS EN 1090 EXC 3.
Typically specified for portal and goalpost frames, agricultural building framing, canopy and carport beams, exposed architectural framing and balustrade top rails.
For galvanised frames, vent holes are placed at the ends of each member to allow full drainage.

answered.
Common questions about the 160 x 80 x 8.0 Rectangular Hollow Section S355 — weight, grade, cut-to-length and worldwide delivery.
