Steel square tube is widely used in industrial maintenance agricultural implements transportation equipment truck beds trailers frames etc.
Hss tube steel dimensions.
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.
Astm 1085 table chart hss hollow structural section square structural tube.
This specification covers cold formed welded carbon steel hollow structural sections hss for welded or bolted construction.
Additionally astm a500 hss can be obtained in many more sizes with periphery not exceeding 64 in.
They are available in cross sections matching each of the cross sections for astm a53 grade b steel pipe.
Hss dimensions are based on exterior dimensions of the profile.
Pipes are also manufactured to an exterior tolerance albeit to a different standard the corners of hss are heavily rounded having a.
Square steel tube is a welded structural grade tubing that is available in either type a513 or a500 grade b depending on it s size and wall thickness either grade is ideal for all structural applications general fabrication manufacturing and repairs.
Circular hss are sometimes mistakenly called steel pipe although true steel pipe is actually dimensioned and classed differently from hss.
Square hollow structural sections hss weight cross sectional area moments of inertia imperial units steel angles equal legs dimensions and static parameters of steel angles with equal legs metric units.
These methods are described below.
Currently three methods are being used in north america for the manufacture of hss.
For example an hss 6 625 0 280 has the same dimensional properties as a pipe 6 std.
Round hss are usually astm a500 grade c fy 46 ksi.
