Inox Steel India is a leading manufacturer and global supplier of EN 10210 Hot-Finished Structural Hollow Sections, which include Square (SHS), Rectangular (RHS), and Circular (CHS) profiles engineered for highly demanding structural environments. Manufactured in accordance with EN 10210-1 and EN 10210-2, these hollow sections offer exceptional mechanical strength, superior impact resistance, and highly reliable performance under static and dynamic loads.
EN 10210 is the European standard for hot-finished hollow sections—produced through hot-forming and normalization processes rather than cold-forming. This results in hollow sections that are stress-free, dimensionally stable, and mechanically superior to cold-formed profiles (EN 10219). The steel grades used—S235JRH, S275JRH, S355J2H, S355NH, S420NH, and S460NH—provide high yield strength and excellent toughness, especially required in offshore structures, cranes, bridges, towers, oil & gas projects, and heavy machinery frames.
Inox Steel India offers EN 10210 hollow sections in a comprehensive dimensional range, including CHS up to 711 mm OD, SHS up to 500×500 mm, and RHS up to 500×300 mm, with wall thicknesses reaching 25 mm. These sections demonstrate uniform properties across the entire cross-section and guaranteed impact performance at low temperatures, making them suitable for critical structure design.
Our EN 10210 hollow sections are supplied to engineering contractors, EPC firms, offshore construction companies, infrastructure developers, and fabrication specialists across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Southeast Asia for use in high-load, low-temperature, or safety-critical structural projects.
EN 10210 hollow sections undergo a hot-forming and normalization process that ensures the highest level of structural reliability and mechanical uniformity.
This hot-finished production route guarantees superior toughness, reliability, and consistency, especially for critical structural applications.
EN 10210 sections are the preferred choice where safety, strength, and durability cannot be compromised.
