HSS vs TS
HSS vs TS
(OP)
Once I read an article about the difference between HSS's and TS's. The problem is I can't remember where the article is and what the answer is. Can someone remind me of the difference please.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.






RE: HSS vs TS
If you plan on using HSS (or TS) in design, you should use the design properties in the LRDF V3 or the Hollow Structural Section Connection Manual. The properties listed in the ASD 9th Ed are approximately 10% higher. The discrepancy is due to the fact that the HSS manufactueres can be underthickness approximately 10% and still be within the allowable tolerance.

There is a link to an interesting aisc article on proper material specification of steel shapes.
