Hollow Section

The term “Hollow Section” (HSS: Hollow Structural Section) refers to a type of metal profile with a hollow tubular cross-section. The term is used predominantly in the United States, or other countries which follow US construction or engineering terminology. These sections are also sometimes called tube steel or structural tubing. They are usually made of metal, though other materials such as plastic or fiberglass are sometimes used. The most common metals used for making hollow sections are carbon steel (CS), stainless steel (SS), aluminum (Al), and copper (Cu). Alloys such as titanium, zirconium, etc. can also be used to make hollow sections.
Hollow sections are important for their use in the construction industry because they offer many benefits. For example, they have a high strength-to-weight ratio which makes them ideal for use in load-bearing applications. They are also very stiff and resistant to torsional forces, making them ideal for use in columns and beams. In addition, hollow sections offer good resistance to impact and abrasion, making them suitable for use in structural applications where there is a risk of impact or abrasion. Finally, hollow sections have a very high resistance to corrosion and are therefore often used in corrosive environments such as offshore oil

Types of Hollow Section

Hollow Section is available in a variety of shapes, including round, rectangular, and square.

The first type of hollow section was circular steel sections (CHS). Frequently used in a variety of structural, mechanical, and construction applications.

CHS is a popular architectural choice for aesthetic appearances in a variety of applications.

Rectangular hollow sections (RHS) are a frequently used material in mechanical, structural, and construction applications. This is because the flat surface of the hollow section results in a more economical structural solution for joining and various other types of fabrication work.

Square hollow section (SHS) is another popular type of structural hollow section that falls somewhere between RHS and CHS in terms of characteristics, appearance, and structural behavior.

SHS has a flat surface that makes joining and welding easier.
