However, there are many classifications of square tubes, including differentiation based on material, production process, and production standards, as well as differentiation based on shape. In short, there are a plethora of thousands of species, classified as follows:

方管按材質分類

Classification of square tubes by material

普碳鋼方管、低合金方管。普碳鋼分為：Q195、Q215、Q235、SS400、20#鋼、45#鋼等；低合金鋼分為Q345、16Mn、Q390、ST52-3等。

Plain carbon steel square tubes, low alloy square tubes. Plain carbon steel is divided into Q195, Q215, Q235, SS400, 20 # steel, 45 # steel, etc; Low alloy steel is divided into Q345, 16Mn, Q390, ST52-3, etc.

方管按生產標準分類

Square tubes are classified according to production standards

國標方管，日標方管，英制方管，美標方管，歐標方管，非標方管。

National standard square tube, Japanese standard square tube, English standard square tube, American standard square tube, European standard square tube, non-standard square tube.

方管按斷面形狀分類

Classification of square tubes based on cross-sectional shape

簡單斷面方管——方形方管、矩形方管

Simple cross-section square tubes - square tubes, rectangular tubes

復雜斷面方管——花形方管、開口形方管、波紋形方管、異型方管

Complex cross-section square tubes - flower shaped square tubes, open shaped square tubes, corrugated square tubes, and irregular square tubes

方形方管、矩形方管
