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. |

Hollow Structural Section is used in Furniture industry & domestic applications, bus body, fencing, Construction of heavy |
duty industrial structures in the form of purlins, trusses, gable and runners, for factory sheds with/without crane gantries |
etc. Construction of light duty structures such as bus-stands, milk booths, temporary pavilions, construction sheds, |
godowns, cycle stands, railway platform sheds, poultry sheds, tents for defence personnel or migratory labour, market |
sheds etc. |
