HSS10×2×1/4 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.

HSS10×2×1/4 is a rectangular tube 10 in. by 2 in. with a 1/4 in. nominal wall.

At 19.02 lb per foot it is one of the 5 HSS10×2 sizes, which run from 9.86 to 27.48 lb/ft.

For strong-axis bending its section modulus is Sx = 10.5 in³ and its moment of inertia Ix = 52.5 in⁴, with a plastic modulus Zx = 14.4 in³.
