Round / Square Solid Steel

Steel rounds are known for having circular cross-sections and a range of industrial applications. Also referred to as a solid steel rod, these versatile products are known for their strength, malleability, and durability. 

They provide a reliable alternative to hollow steel sections while enhancing the structural integrity of your project; however, this extra strength comes with additional weight. Unlike hollow sections, solid bars rapidly accumulate mass as sizes increase.

For example, 16 metres of steel rounds with a 100mm diameter equates to a tonne of steel. Therefore, you must carefully assess your needs and select the most suitable size for your requirements. 

Because they are solid, these round and square bars can become very heavy very quickly, and as such their size is typically no larger than around 100mm.

At the largest size, this equates to a mass of 61.60kg per metre, and just 16 metres will therefore weigh one tonne.

For less heavy-duty applications, smaller cross-sectional areas can be specified, and the smallest measures in at 6mm, equivalent to 0.22kg per metre.

This allows for more than 4,500 metres of bar to be used before one tonne of weight is added to the project site.

As with other products, solid rounds and squares can be worked upon before delivery by our Services and light fabrication team.

Where necessary, they can be painted or galvanised, to give them the desired appearance or to protect the surface of the steel against exposure to the weather, abrasion or other potentially harmful processes and substances.

There are more than 15 different sizes to choose from, subject to availability – allowing solid rounds or squares to be specified that closely match the demands of your project.
