HSS10×5×5/16 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.

HSS10×5×5/16 is a rectangular tube 10 in. by 5 in. with a 5/16 in. nominal wall.

At 29.72 lb per foot it is one of the 3 HSS10×5 sizes, which run from 24.12 to 35.13 lb/ft.

For strong-axis bending its section modulus is Sx = 20.8 in³ and its moment of inertia Ix = 104 in⁴, with a plastic modulus Zx = 26 in³.
