What is a SHS?
Square tubing has a number of different names but it is usually the same product. Some producers refer to the tube as square hollow sections whereas others call it square hollow.
There are even cases when the name for the product includes a reference to the manufacturing process. For example, you may see a manufacturer who calls the product a cold formed square hollow. Here you can see that the tube was made using a cold forming process.
Some producers will also name the product based on the type of metal. For example you can see names like square mild steel hollow.
