HSS10×4×1/8 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.

HSS10×4×1/8 is a rectangular tube 10 in. by 4 in. with a 1/8 in. nominal wall.

At 11.56 lb per foot it is the lightest of the 7 HSS10×4 sizes, which run from 11.56 to 50.81 lb/ft.

For strong-axis bending its section modulus is Sx = 7.97 in³ and its moment of inertia Ix = 39.8 in⁴, with a plastic modulus Zx = 10 in³.
