They are available in cross sections matching each of the cross sections for astm a53 grade b steel pipe.
Hss manufacturing methods the transformation of steel strip into hollow structural sections hss is the result of a series of operations including formi ng welding and sizing.

These methods are described below.
Currently three methods are being used in north america for the manufacture of hss.
The tube s final dimensions.
Square steel tube is a welded structural grade tubing that is available in either type a513 or a500 grade b depending on it s size and wall thickness either grade is ideal for all structural applications general fabrication manufacturing and repairs.
Pipes are also manufactured to an exterior tolerance albeit to a different standard the corners of hss are heavily rounded having a.
For example an hss 6 625 0 280 has the same dimensional properties as a pipe 6 std.
Additionally astm a500 hss can be obtained in many more sizes with periphery not exceeding 64 in.
