HSS (Hollow Structural Sections) steel tubes are hollow structural sections or structural elements made of steel members used in construction and other industries. They offer high strength while being lightweight, and are available in a variety of shapes and sizes to meet various structural needs.
HSS steel tubes offer numerous benefits due to their excellent mechanical properties, making them a preferred choice in construction. Their high strength-to-weight ratio makes them an efficient and cost-effective choice for building structures. HSS steel tubes are lighter than conventional steel sections of the same strength, reducing the overall weight of the structure and foundation costs.
HSS steel tubes offer exceptional durability and resistance, capable of withstanding harsh environmental conditions, including high-impact forces and corrosive elements. Their hollow structure, characteristic of steel hollow structural sections, also provides uniform strength in all directions, making them a versatile solution for various construction applications and other structures.
Altitube Steel specializes in HSS (Hollow Structural Section) steel tubes, recognized for their distinctive hollow cross-sections. These steel tubes come in various specifications, grades, and sizes, each designed to meet different requirements. The crucial specifications of HSS steel tubes include wall thickness, diameter, and length. These characteristics determine a tube’s structural capacity and are carefully calibrated during production.
HSS steel tubes are available in several grades, such as A500, A1085, and A847, each offering different levels of tensile and yield strength. These tubes come in a wide range of sizes, including square, rectangular, and round shapes, ensuring the right fit for any project. The grades of HSS steel tubes refer to the steel’s strength and ductility, with common grades including A500, A1085, and A847, each providing specific tensile strength and yield strength levels.
HSS square tubes, one of Altitube Steel’s specialties, are structural tubing extensively used across various industries. They are favored for their uniform strength, which is equally distributed in two perpendicular directions. This distinct characteristic makes HSS square tubes ideal for multi-axis loading applications such as in:
Bridges
Buildings
And other infrastructural projects
HSS square tubes are also widely used in the manufacturing of industrial machinery and automotive industries due to their durability and resistance. Furthermore, rectangular HSS steel tubes find application in roll-over protective structures, where their robust construction ensures enhanced safety. Additionally, these tubes are integral components in the fabrication of welded steel frames, providing structural support and stability.
The versatility of square hollow structural sections lies in their varied sizes and rectangular shapes, offering flexibility for different applications. At Altitube Steel, we offer HSS rectangular tubes in a comprehensive range of sizes, catering to the specific needs of each industry.
Their rectangular shape provides a uniform geometry and greater strength-to-weight ratio, making them a popular choice for applications requiring strength, rigidity, and durability, such as in construction, mechanical engineering, and the automotive industry. Additionally, their nominal wall thickness ensures structural integrity and longevity in diverse environments.
