What are the standard sizes for RHS? i need some 25mm * 15mm and some 30 mm * 30 mm

my local place doesnt have any in these sizes...

Do these exist, or am i making it all up ??

no your not making it all up those are available sizes

great!

less to do then. thanks for that !

RHS - you mean the steel square tube?

Ask for 1" by (I think) 16 gauge (check its 1.5 /1.6mm thick). See if that gets a better response. Also mention you want ERW and not seemless.

for the 19mm ask for 3/4" square and round.

ERW - electical resistance welded (or something very similar, meaning its a flat bit of steel shaped then welded together by a special machine.


I'll now wait for people to tell me i've got that completely wrong

I knew this would come on handy one day. I might be able to find proper metric sizes if you wish.

Mike you are correct.
The term RHS really only is correct for sizes beyond our range.....In our sizes, especially with 1.6/1.5 WT, square ERW tube is a better description.....Also, seamless square tube is very uncommon anyway......
