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.
