HSS10×10×3/16 square/rectangular HSS tube

Detailing dimensions and section properties from the AISC Shapes Database, 16th Edition. Values are shown to the nearest 1/16 in. as they appear on a shop drawing.

HSS10×10×3/16 is a square tube 10 in. by 10 in. with a 3/16 in. nominal wall.

At 24.73 lb per foot it is the lightest of the 7 HSS10×10 sizes, which run from 24.73 to 89.5 lb/ft.

For strong-axis bending its section modulus is Sx = 21.6 in³ and its moment of inertia Ix = 108 in⁴, with a plastic modulus Zx = 24.8 in³.
