ANSWER:
Structural tubing, also called hollow structural sections or HSS, is used for structural applications that rely on its standard strength requirements. In comparison, mechanical tubing is used for more mechanical and lighter gauge structural applications.
ANSWER:
Structural tubing is commonly called hollow structural sections, or HSS, and square HSS is sometimes referred to as tube steel or box section. When customers refer to square pipe, they likely mean tube steel or box section.
ANSWER:
Due to a number of reasons, tube is inherently stronger than pipe. You’ll find that the performance of steel tube is superior to steel pipe in applications requiring more strength and durability.
ANSWER:
Kloeckner Metals offers square structurals in wall thicknesses of up to 1/2″. While we routinely stock square tubing in widths of up to 12″, it is also available in widths of up to 20″.
ANSWER:
We wrote at length about the difference between steel pipe and steel tube. In short, while a pipe is always round, a tube can be one of many shapes, including round, square, rectangular, and oval. Pipes generally carry fluids or gasses, while tubes, because of their superior strength and durability, are designed for applications spanning the medical, aerospace, industrial, transportation, military, architecture, and construction industries.
