HOLLOW STRUCTURAL SECTIONS

DIMENSIONS AND SECTION PROPERTIES

OF NORTH AMERICA

HSS Manufacturing Methods


The transformation of steel strip into hollow structural sections (HSS) is the result of operations including forming, welding and sizing. Currently
three methods are being used in North America for the manufacture of HSS. These methods, including two ERW methods and an SAW method, are
described below. Both ERW methods meet ASTM A 500 and CSA G-40.21 requirements for the manufacture of HSS, and the ERW sizes included in
this publication may be produced to either standard. The SAW method is not included as a manufacturing process in the ASTM or CSA specification.
SAW sizes listed in this publication can be specified to meet desired physical and dimensional criteria of ASTM A500 and CSA G-40.21

Electric Resistance Welding (ERW) Process


In the tube mill, flat steel strip (1) is formed continuously around its
longitudinal axis to produce a round tube. This is done by moving the
strip through a progressive set of rolls (2-6). The strip edges (7) are
heated by either high frequency induction or contact welding and then
forged together by weld rolls to create a continuous longitudinal weld
without the addition of filler metal. The weld seam (8) is then cooled
and processed through a set of sizing/shaping rolls which cold-form it
into a round (9), square (10) or rectangular (11) section.

Form-Square Weld-Square (ERW) Process


In the weld mill, driven forming dies progressively shape the flat strip
(1) by forming the top two corners (2) of the square or rectangular tube
in the initial forming station. Subsequent stations form the bottom two
corners (3) of the shape. No cold working of the sides of the shape is
performed, and the shapes seam is welded by high-frequency contacts
when the tube is near its final shape and size. The welded tube (4) is
cooled and then driven through a series of sizing stations which qualifies
the tubes final dimensions.

Submerged Arc Weld (SAW) Process


Two identical pieces of flat strip (1) are placed in a press brake and
formed into two identical halves (2) of a finished tube size. A backup bar
is tack welded to each leg of one of the half-sections (3). The two halfsections are fitted together toe-to-toe (4) and welded by the submerged
arc process to complete the square or rectangular section (5).

FOREWORD
This publication presents tables of dimensions and section properties for rectangular, square, and round Hollow
Structural Sections (HSS). HSS with a maximum periphery of 64 inches are manufactured by the electric-resistance welding
(ERW) process. HSS with peripheries greater than 64 inches are manufactured by the submerged arc welding (SAW) process.
See HSS Manufacturing Methods inside front cover in this publication.
The dimensions, including nominal width, nominal depth, nominal diameter and nominal wall thickness are subject to
the permissible variations stipulated in ASTM A500 Standard Specification for Cold-Formed Welded and Seamless Carbon
Steel Structural Tubing in Rounds and Shapes.
With todays manufacturing methods, HSS are produced with more precision than in the past. The strip used to produce
HSS is now ordered to thicknesses with tighter tolerances. As a result, ERW HSS manufactured to A500 will often have a wall
thickness close to the Specification allowable value.
In a change from past practice, section property data is now based upon the design wall thickness. The design wall
thickness, t, for ERW HSS is less than the specified nominal wall thickness. For SAW HSS, the design wall thickness, t, is equal
to the specified nominal wall thickness.The design wall thickness for each HSS size is included in the tabulated data.
The section property data based upon the design wall thickness, t, results in variations in the published area data that do
not exceed 3.50% of the data based upon the minimum permissible wall thickness stipulated in ASTM A500. This is consistent with the similar section property data published for hot rolled structural shapes and the manufacturing tolerances
associated with those products.
The section property data for rectangular and square ERW HSS are based upon outside corner radii equal to 2.0 times
the design wall thickness. The section property data for rectangular and square SAW HSS are based upon outside corner
radii equal to 3.6 times the design wall thickness for SAW sections with 5/8 inch nominal wall thicknesses; and 3.0 times the
design wall thickness for SAW sections with nominal wall thicknesses equal to 1/2 inch and 3/8 inch.
General availability information for each size of HSS manufactured to ASTM A500 Grade B is contained in The Steel Tube
Institutes companion publication Principal Producers and Capabilities. Tables, summarizing the capabilities of principal
producers by specific size and wall thickness, are included for rectangular, square and round HSS.
NOTE: The more universal terms Hollow Structural Section and HSS are used in this publication to designate rectangular,
square and round structural steel tubing. These terms replace structural tubing and pipe, which had been used
previously. The round Hollow Structural Sections include typical pipe size diameters and wall thicknesses, as well as
typical HSS sizes.

believed to be accurate, this information should not be used or relied upon for any specific application without competent professional examination and verification
of its accuracy, suitability, and applicability by a licensed professional engineer, designer, or architect.The publication of the material contained herein is not intended
