Hollow Structural Sections

Hollow structural sections or hss are cold formed welded steel tubes used for welded or bolted construction of buildings bridges and other structures as well as a wide range of manufactured products.

Hollow structural sections. Hss members can be circular square or rectangular sections although other shapes such as elliptical are also available.

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.

They are produced in square round and rectangular shapes to meet structural design requirements. The term hollow structural sections hss refers to high strength welded steel tubing used as structural elements in buildings and other structures and a variety of manufactured products. Hollow structural sections hss are manufactured hollow steel sections typically of circular rectangular or square cross section.
