Stainless steel square and rectangular tube sections are used wherever a flat, stable profile matters more than a round one — structural framing, architectural railings and balustrades, furniture and fixture fabrication, and equipment frames and enclosures. Like our round tube, these sections are TIG welded for a clean, robust seam, then formed to final dimension from welded tube stock through additional sizing rolls — a process that gives the finished section sharp, consistent corners and flat faces without compromising the weld integrity established during the initial forming stage.

Standards

ASTM A554 is the standard specification for welded stainless steel mechanical tubing, covering square and rectangular structural/ornamental sections as well as round.

ASTM A554
Welded stainless steel mechanical tubing — structural/ornamental, square and rectangular sections

Why square/rectangular sections are specified differently from round

Square and rectangular tube is typically chosen over round for its flat mounting surfaces and resistance to rotation in structural framing and railing applications — the trade-off is a somewhat more complex forming process during manufacture, which is why size availability is narrower than round tube. We manufacture this profile from 10×10mm up to 25×75mm.

Common questions.

What sizes of square and rectangular stainless tube do you manufacture?
10×10mm up to 25×75mm, to ASTM A554, across the 200, 300 and 400 series and high-nickel alloys.
What grade is used for square/rectangular architectural tube?
200, 300, and 400 series stainless steel are all available in this profile — 300 series (like 304/304L) is the standard choice for most architectural and structural applications, offering good general corrosion resistance at accessible cost.
