Celsius^® 420

Celsius^® 420 raising the standard with the next generation in ultimate hot-finished structural steel.

At Tata Steel, we’ve taken our leading Celsius® product range and made it even better. Celsius® 420 is the next generation in true hot-finished structural steel hollow sections. Through advances in our steel manufacturing capability, Celsius 420 offers a stronger steel grade of 420 N/mm² that achieves up to 17% weight saving with less welding and enhanced aesthetic appeal.

Celsius 420 has been extensively trialled and tested to confirm its chemical composition & mechanical properties, so you have complete reassurance it will perform as specified.

Supported by full certification and batch testing, Celsius 420 ensures consistency and quality, combined with complete reliability and proven performance.

Normalised fine grain steel, so free of internal stresses and with a minimum strength of 420 N/mm² – allowing the highest fabrication factors and enabling material cost savings and lighter structures
Available in a wide range of circular, square, rectangular and elliptical hollow sections
Tight corner radii, exceeding the standard - enhancing the product’s aesthetic appeal whilst avoiding the risk of brittle fracture which occurs in some cold formed products
Dimensional consistency, high levels of formability and, because the steel is fully-killed, excellent weldability
Certified as suitable for all structural applications, fully compliant with design codes and overcomes design risks associated with other forms of hollow sections
Certified as suitable for mechanical applications, especially those involving cyclic 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 420, with the reassurance of batch traceability
Full technical support available
Excellent supply availability through approved stockholders
All Celsius 420 material is CE marked and is fully compliant with the Construction Products Regulation (CPR)
Suitable for galvanising with guaranteed silicon content between 0.15 and 0.25%
Guaranteed CEV 0.45 max compared to standard of 0.5 CEV

High strength hot finished hollow sections suitable for all construction and mechanical applications. Celsius 420 is suitable for all internal and external applications to EN1993.

Celsius 420 hollow sections are supplied with a minimum yield strength of 420 N/mm² and comply fully with the European Standard for hot finished structural hollow sections, EN10210:S420NH.

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.
