Hss manufacturing methods the transformation of steel strip into hollow structural sections hss is the result of a series of operations including formi ng welding and sizing.
Hss tube steel properties.
We offer round square and rectangular hss in the broadest range of sizes and gauges with a variety of value added services.
Our quick change technology allows us to offer the shortest cycle times in the industry.
They are available in cross sections matching each of the cross sections for astm a53 grade b steel pipe.
This specification covers cold formed welded carbon steel hollow structural sections hss for welded or bolted construction.
These methods are described below.
He a steel beams properties of he a profiled steel beams modulus of rigidity shear modulus modulus of rigidity is the elasticity coefficient for shearing or torsion force radius of gyration in structural engineering radius of gyration is used to describe the distribution of cross sectional area in a column around its centroidal axis.
Currently three methods are being used in north america for the manufacture of hss.
Atlas tube manufactures a range of steel hollow structural sections hss tubing and piling products.
Rectangular and square hss are also commonly called tube steel or box section.
For example an hss 6 625 0 280 has the same dimensional properties as a pipe 6 std.
Hss is sometimes mistakenly referenced as hollow structural steel.
The following chart table gives cross section engineering data for steel tube pipe sizes 1 25 inches to 32 inches diameter as follows.
Steel tubing or tube steel is what we used to use in the u s.
The tube s final dimensions.

Hss members can be circular square or rectangular sections although other shapes such as elliptical are also available.
Structural tubing especially rectangular sections are commonly used in welded steel frames where members experience loading in multiple directions.

Hss is only composed of structural steel per code.
Square and circular hss are very efficient shapes for this multiple axis loading as they have uniform geometry along two.
A hollow structural section or hss is the same thing as tube steel or ts right.

Structural tube is often referred to as hollow structural sections or hss.
To describe a closed steel section whether of rectangular square or round shape.
Round hss are usually astm a500 grade c fy 46 ksi.
