The new standard provides an HSS with improved performance and can result in more efficient steel designs. AISC has prepared a number of resources below to help introduce A into the steel marketplace and to help engineers use it in design. Shapes are available in square, round and rectangular sections. Shape dimensions and section property tables are available in PDF format based on the nominal wall thickness for square, round and rectangular A HSS.

The shape dimensions and section properties for square, round and rectangular A HSS are also available in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. Steel Tube Institute steeltubeinstitute. View flyer.

For example, a Cl2x25 is aC-shape that is nominally 12 in. Design dimensions, detailing dimensions, and axial, flexural, and torsional propertiesare given in Tables and for C- and MC-shapes, respectively. For the definitions of the tabulated variables, refer to the Nomenclature section at the backof this Manual.

AnglesAngles also known as L-shapes have legs of equal thickness and either equal or unequalleg sizes. Angles are designated by the mark L, leg sizes in. For exam-pIe, an L4x3x l12 is an angle with one 4-in. Design dimensions, detailing dimensions, and axial, flexural, and flexural-torsionalproperties are given in Table The effects of leg-to-leg and toe fillet radii have beenconsidered in the determination of these section properties. Workable gages on anglelegs are tabulated at the end of Table WT-shapes, which are made from W-shapes.

MT-shapes, which are made from M-shapes. ST-shapes, which are made from S-shapes. WT-, MT-, and ST-shapes are split sheared or thermal-eut from W-,M-, and S-shapes, respectively, and have half the nominal depth and weight of that shape.

For example, a WT12x Design dimensions, detailing dimensions, and axial, flexural, and torsional propertiesare given in Tables , , and for WT-, MT-, and ST-shapes, respectively. Rectangular HSS, which have an essentially rectangular cross-section, except forrounded corners, and uniform wall thickness, except at the weld seam s.

Square HSS, which have an essentially square cross-section, except for rounded cor-ners, and uniform wall thickness, except at the weld seam s. Round HSS, which have an essentially round cross-section and uniform wall thickness,except at the weld seam s. The coverage of HSS in this Manual is similarly limited. Post on Nov 2.

W-Shapes Table M-Shapes Table S-Shapes Table See FAQs 1. It offers improved material properties and design wall thickness equal to nominal wall thickness, among other desirable characteristics. For more information see www. AISC has producer listings at www. Shapes producers have the ability to update these lists on a real-time basis.

Contact information for many shapes producers is given on the website. Round HSS are intended to be used as structural members. Pipe, though sometimes used as structural members, is intended to be used for mechanical and pressure applications.

Pipes up to and including NPS 12 are designated by the term Pipe, nominal diameter in. NPS stands for nominal pipe size. For example, Pipe 5 Std. Pipes with wall thicknesses that do not correspond to the foregoing weight classes are designated by the term Pipe, outside diameter in. For example, Pipe For example, an HSS 6. One important difference, especially from an architectural perspective, is that round HSS will have an outside diameter equal to the nominal diameter, but the outside diameter of a pipe will vary depending on its thickness.

For example A53 requires only that the pipe be reasonably straight, where A places a specific tolerance on straightness. Structurally, there is no difference. Limits on radii of curved shapes are essentially a function of the capabilities of the bender. AISC does limit the radius of bend for bent plates to prevent cracking during the bending process. Though similar limits would apply to any bent product, such deformations are not generally achievable in HSS.

The minimum radius for camber induced by cold-bending in members up to a nominal depth of 30 in. Deeper members may require a larger minimum radius. Bending by heat is also a possibility, but it should be noted that this procedure is generally much more expensive than cold-bending.

They would be the best ones to contact for determining minimum and maximum curved radii of shapes. This coverage is not intended to exclude the use of other shapes that may be available. Other shapes and combinations thereof may be designed and used within the requirements of the AISC Specification.
