HSS12×10×5/16 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.

HSS12×10×5/16 is a rectangular tube 12 in. by 10 in. with a 5/16 in. nominal wall.

At 44.6 lb per foot it is one of the 6 HSS12×10 sizes, which run from 27.29 to 84.84 lb/ft.

For strong-axis bending its section modulus is Sx = 44 in³ and its moment of inertia Ix = 264 in⁴, with a plastic modulus Zx = 51.7 in³.
