      Specification
A hollow structural section (HSS) is a type of metal profile with a
hollow tubular cross section. In some countries they are referred
to instead as a structural hollow section (SHS).
Most HSS are of circular or rectangular section, although other
shapes are available, such as elliptical. They normally comprise
structural steel, although are also available in stainless steel,
aluminium and other materials.
HSS is sometimes mistakenly referenced as hollow structural steel.
Rectangular HSS are also called tube steel or structural tubing.
Circular HSS are sometimes mistakenly called steel pipe though
true steel pipe is actually dimensioned and classed differently than
HSS. The corners of HSS are heavily rounded, or chamfered, at radii
approximately twice the wall thickness. The wall thickness is uniform
around the section.
Square HSS is made the same way as pipe. During the manufacturing
process flat steel plate is gradually changed in shape to become
round where the edges are presented ready to weld. The edges are
then welded together to form the mother tube. During the manufacturing
process the mother tube goes through a series of shaping stands and
cold forms the round HSS (mother tube) into the final round, square,
or rectangular shape. Most American manufacturers adhere to the
ASTM A500 standard, while Canadian manufacturers follow both ASTM
A500 and CSA G40.21. European hollow sections are generally in
accordance with the EN 10210 standard.
