Brad Fletcher, structural engineer at Atlas Tube, explains why you should think about using A1085 HSS when designing structures where member size matters. Aesthetics and functionality in design matter, especially for large, open structures. ASTM A1085 lets you design without letting supports get in the way. It’s tighter wall thickness tolerances allow you to use the full nominal cross-sectional properties in your design, meaning the potential for smaller sections and more open floor space. It’s time to think differently about designing large, open spaces with hollow structural sections. It’s time for ASTM A1085 HSS.
