Box Section

A box section, also known as a hollow profile, is generally a hollow iron section used for strengthening structures and forms the basis of metal frame construction. Box sections usually offer greater weldability and flexibility compared to steel profiles. Depending on thickness, the shape of the internal surface, and the material used, they are produced in various forms. The pressure tolerance and elasticity of box sections differ from that of profiles, which can be attributed to the materials used in their manufacture.
