Hss tube steel dimensions.

For example an hss 6 625 0 280 has the same dimensional properties as a pipe 6 std. Hss dimensions are based on exterior dimensions of the profile. H height w width t wall thickness i area moment of inertia s elastic section modulus. Pipes are also manufactured to an exterior tolerance albeit to a different standard the corners of hss are heavily rounded having a.

These methods are described below. Steel square tube is widely used in industrial maintenance agricultural implements transportation equipment truck beds trailers frames etc. 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. Currently three methods are being used in north america for the manufacture of hss.

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. They are available in cross sections matching each of the cross sections for astm a53 grade b steel pipe. Additionally astm a500 hss can be obtained in many more sizes with periphery not exceeding 64 in. Round hss are usually astm a500 grade c fy 46 ksi.

This specification covers cold formed welded carbon steel hollow structural sections hss for welded or bolted construction. The tube s final dimensions.
