Structural Shapes

Structural Shapes from Plate

Structural shapes from plate are square and rectangular profiles formed by rolling and welding specialty plate into custom structural sections. These plate-formed shapes offer dimensional flexibility, controlled geometry, and material traceability beyond what is typically available from standard mill sections or off-the-shelf structural products.

Sandmeyer Steel Company supplies structural shapes produced from welded rounds formed from specialty plate for customers who need custom square and rectangular sections with consistent geometry and traceability. These shapes are used where standard mill shapes are unavailable or don’t meet design tolerances.

Structural shapes are formed by rolling and welding plate into square or rectangular profiles using established plate processing techniques. This plate-based approach supports controlled wall thickness, precise dimensional tolerances, and consistent cross-sectional geometry that standard mill shapes may not offer.

Materials Offered

Structural shapes are produced from stainless steel and select nickel alloy plate sourced from Sandmeyer Steel’s on-site inventory, supporting material consistency and traceability.

Manufacturing Capabilities

Structural shapes are formed by rolling and welding plate into square or rectangular profiles. Manufacturing methods vary by size and wall thickness to support structural integrity and dimensional control.

Capabilities & Size Range

• Square shapes from 3″ × 3″ through 24″ × 24″
• Rectangular shapes from 3″ × 4″ through 23″ × 24″
• Wall thickness from 0.1875″ through 1″
• Structural shapes up to 12″ × 12″ with wall thicknesses through 5/8″ are produced from tube rounds with a single longitudinal weld seam
• Larger shapes and heavier walls may be manufactured with two longitudinal weld seams, as required by size and design

What are structural shapes from plate?

Structural shapes from plate are square and rectangular structural profiles formed by rolling and welding flat plate into custom configurations. These shapes support mechanical, structural, or process applications where controlled geometry is required.

How are structural shapes formed from plate?

Structural shapes are manufactured by rolling flat plate into the desired profile and welding seams to create square or rectangular sections. Plate-based forming enables wall thickness and dimensional tolerances to be established before shaping.

When should plate-formed structural shapes be specified?

Plate-formed structural shapes are specified when standard beams, channels, or mill-formed shapes cannot meet dimensional or tolerance requirements. They are often used in industrial equipment, fabrication, and structural projects with custom geometry needs.

Production Time

With immediate access to on-site plate inventory and integrated forming and welding capabilities, Sandmeyer Steel supports efficient production schedules for custom structural shapes, reducing lead times compared to outsourced fabrication.
