ASTM A500 HSS

Atlas Tube’s ASTM A500 hollow structural sections (HSS) provide structural support for common load-bearing applications. They are widely available in many sizes, shapes and wall thicknesses at service centers throughout North America.

HSS for General Structural Purposes

ASTM A500 HSS are cold-formed, welded carbon steel structural elements in buildings, bridges and other load-bearing applications. Atlas manufactures squares, rectangles and rounds.

All shapes feature excellent compression and support characteristics, as well as superior torsional resistance, making HSS particularly well-suited to all types of column applications. The torsional strength of HSS also ensures their performance as bracing and perimeter members. Connection information is now widely available for applications — just ask Atlas Tube.

Advantages of ASTM A500 HSS from Atlas Tube

Quality
High resistance to torsional loading
Aesthetically pleasing, uniform shape
Comes with a material test report (MTR)
Ease
Easy to weld in the shop and field
Less clean-up and painting required because the surface area is smaller than that of open sections
Savings
Cost savings, compared to wide-flange W and HP shapes, because the higher strength-to-weight ratios of HSS reduce the amount of steel required
Broad Size Range
Including jumbo sizes
