Celsius® 355

Celsius® 355 hot finished hollow section is manufactured exclusively from normalised, fine grain steel for outstanding performance.

Celsius® 355 is the product to choose for all critical applications where failure is simply not an option.

Available in a wide range of circular, square, rectangular and elliptical hollow sections. The strength and weldable qualities of Celsius® 355 mean that it can be used for all structural and mechanical applications, including multi-storey columns, space frames, lattice beams and frames for machinery & trailers.

Made exclusively from normalised, fine grain steel with a yield strength of 355 N/mm2, Celsius® 355 is fully stress-relieved with uniform mechanical properties and manufactured to the standard grade EN 10210 S355 NH. Other grades, including those with improved impact qualities are available on request.

  • Fully normalized structural hollow sections, compliant with EN 10210:S355NH
  • Fully normalized structural hollow sections, compliant with EN 10210:S355NH
  • Normalized fine grain steel, so free of internal stresses and with a minimum strength of 355N/mm2 allowing the highest fabrication factors and enabling material cost savings and lighter structures
  • Supplied normalized and compliant to both ‘NH’ and ‘J2H’ classifications
  • Available in a wide size range of square (40 x 40 x 3.2mm to 400 x 400 x 16mm) rectangular (50 x 30 x 3.2mm to 500 x 300 x 16mm), elliptical (300 x 150 x 8mm to 500 x 250 x 16mm) and circular (42.4 x 3.2mm to 508 x 16mm) hollow sections
  • Tight corner radii (<2T) exceeding the standard - enhancing the product’s aesthetic appeal whilst avoiding the risk of brittle fracture which occurs in some cold formed products
  • Excellent dimensional consistency, high levels of formability, suitable for galvanising and, because the steel is fully-killed, excellent weldability
  • Fully compliant with CE marking and certified as suitable for all structural applications; overcomes design risks associated with other forms of hollow sections
  • Certified as suitable for mechanical applications, especially those involving cyclical loading
  • Suitable for low temperature applications (40J @ -20°C)
  • Batch-tested to give the properties of the specific delivered material; full test certification supplied
  • Clearly marked as Celsius® S355NH, and supplied with a 3.1 test certificate for the reassurance of batch traceability
  • Full technical support available
  • Excellent supply availability through approved stockholders

High strength hot finished hollow sections suitable for all construction and mechanical applications. Celsius® 355 is suitable for all internal and external applications to BS5950-1:2000, EN1993 and BS5400.

Celsius® 355 hollow sections are supplied with a minimum yield strength of 355 N/mm2 and comply fully with the European Standard for hot finished structural hollow sections, EN10210:S355NH.

Tata Steel has developed software to help the design of Celsius® in structural applications.

Welded joints software

Tata Steel have developed software to enable quick assessment of welded tubular joints made with the Tata Steel Celsius® range of EN10210 S355NH hot finished structural hollow sections.

FireSoft software

Calculation of fire resistance of concrete filled tubes is not easily undertaken by hand. However the software will calculate the resistance of various types of concrete filled columns, under axial load and bending, at ambient temperature conditions and after exposure to a standard fire.

Celsius S355NH is manufactured and CE marked according to EN 10210-1&2:2006 grade S355NH.

All Celsius products are manufactured under Factory Production Control conditions and FPC certification is available upon request. The full Declaration of Performance for all of our Celsius range can be downloaded from our DoP download centre.

Design data for structural hollow sections

The essential aid for the design of steelwork

Comprehensive section property data is provided in this ‘blue book’  as well as tables of member resistances, which are given for both Celsius® and Hybox® structural hollow sections. This enables rapid selection of steel members in compression and bending. Tables are also provided for combined bending and compression, web resistance and shear resistance. This edition provides resistances in accordance with Eurocode 3 together with the relevant UK and German National Annexes, as well as resistances to BS 5950.
