What are HSS sections?

Hollow Structural Sections (HSS) is high-strength welded steel tubing used as structural elements in buildings and other structures and a variety of manufactured products. It is produced in circular, square and rectangular shapes and a broad range of sizes. Benefits include aesthetic appeal, high strength-to-weight ratios, cost-effectiveness and recyclability.

Traditional sections are empty HSS

Many structural engineers know the advantages of HSS in construction, but since the production of these hollow sections in Iran was limited in the past, engineers had no choice but to use sections made with sheets.

Even though traditionally made sections are similar in appearance to HSS sections, the welding process and low quality of their construction greatly affect the final quality of the products. The amount of damage caused by welding and residual stress is less in HSS.

Why HSS?

HSS has many applications in various industries, including the construction industry, oil and gas, urban structures, etc

Why HSS?

A. Advantages of steel compared to other common building materials:

Decreased production time
Useful in lightweight construction
Recyclable
Useful in space structures
Better strenght-to-weight ratio

B – Advantages of HSS in the modern industrial production method compared to other structural steel sections:

Better strenght-to-weight ratio
Stronger in torsion
The best option for the column due to its geometric features
Higher welding quality
Useful in lightweight construction and better performance against earthquake forces
Useful in space structures
More beautiful appearance in the construction of exposed structures
Reduce construction costs
Production of sections with desired length based on customer needs and traffic restrictions
Using sections in composite structures (filled with concrete)
