Usage of hollow structural sections

Date:2024-06-13

HSS (hollow structural sections) refers to hollow, tubular metal profiles used as structural elements in buildings, bridges, and various manufactured products. These sections are produced in round, square, and rectangular shapes in a wide range of sizes and gauges.

 

Production Standards:

HSS are manufactured according to EN10219, EN10225, API, and ASTM standards, available in various geometries and wall thicknesses using HFW, HSAW, and LSAW production methods. They are suitable for highly stressed steel structures in demanding applications such as:

Road and Pedestrian Bridges

Roofs, Hangars, and Superstructures:

Widely used in airports, stadiums, shopping malls, etc.

Long-span and Slender Steel Structures

Cranes, Booms, and Masts

Earth-moving, Agricultural, and Machinery Equipment Frameworks

Road, Railway-car, and Trailer Frames

Lighting and Traffic Poles, Road-sign Frameworks

Jacket Foundations for Offshore Oil & Gas and Wind Power

Offshore Platform Top-sides

Jack-up Rig Frameworks

Pile Foundations

 

These applications highlight the versatility and critical role of HSS in modern construction and manufacturing.
