What are hollow sections in structural steel?
A hollow structural profile (HSS) is a metal profile with a hollow cross-section.
ASTM A500 is the most common specification for Hollow Structural Sections. This specification covers cold-formed welded and seamless carbon steel round, square, rectangular or special shape structural tubing for construction of bridges, buildings and for structural purposes.
What is the difference between ASTM A500 steel pipe and A53 carbon steel pipe?
Since ASTM A500 is a structural specification, round HSS produced to this specification are fit for purpose when used for structural applications and general construction use. ASTM A53 is a pipe specification and is intended to be used in mechanical and pressure applications.
