Apollo Column is APL Apollo's range of hollow structural sections for structures of any design and elevation, offering high load-bearing capacity and strength-to-weight ratio. The box-section range extends square hollow sections up to 1000 mm x 1000 mm with thickness up to 40 mm (thickness below 30 mm corresponds to 500 MPa yield strength; 40 mm corresponds to 350 MPa). Steel pipe length is 8000-12000 mm. Each row of the table gives mass, area and section properties for a size and thickness.

Key features

• India's first 1000 mm x 1000 mm box section
• thickness up to 40 mm
• Section properties listed for each size and thickness
• Higher torsional strength - the brochure states 200 times greater torsion resistance than open sections
• Uniform strength with no weaker axis
• high strength-to-weight ratio saves steel consumption
• Smooth profile - aesthetically pleasing and easy to paint
• Easy to install with conventional bolting
• easy to weld, punch, bend and drill
• Cut-to-length supply to avoid wastage

Applications

• Infrastructure projects
• Commercial buildings
• Residential projects
• Pre-engineered buildings (PEB)
• Industrial and warehouse sheds
• Multi-storey buildings
• Columns, beams and trusses
