Description

EN 10219 Cold-Formed Welded Structural Hollow Section

EN 10219 defines the technical delivery conditions for cold-formed welded structural hollow sections of non-alloy and fine grain steels. These sections are widely used in structural and engineering applications due to their excellent strength-to-weight ratio, dimensional accuracy, and weldability. Cold-formed hollow sections come in square, rectangular, and circular shapes, and they are widely utilized in steel frameworks, mechanical systems, and infrastructure projects.

Common Grades Available:

  • S235JRH – General structural grade with minimum yield strength of 235 MPa
  • S275J2H – Higher strength with improved impact properties at -20°C
  • S355J2H – High-strength grade with 355 MPa minimum yield and excellent impact toughness at -20°C

Key Features:

  • Cold-formed for precise dimensions and smooth surfaces
  • High strength-to-weight ratio
  • Excellent weldability and machinability
  • Impact tested (e.g., J2 = -20°C)
  • Consistent mechanical properties throughout the section
  • Complies with European design codes

Standards Compliance:

  • EN 10219-1: Technical delivery conditions
  • EN 10219-2: Tolerances, dimensions, sectional properties
  • Conforms to CE marking for structural use in construction
