HSS Efficiency Infographic
How much do you know about HSS? Compared to wide-flange, HSS can offer designers and builders big advantages in strength, weight and labor costs.
- HSS can carry up to 30% more axial load
- HSS are 200x stronger than open sections in resisting torsional loading
- HSS columns can weigh up to 50% less for the same strength
- HSS have up to 50% less surface area than wide-flange sections
