HSS14×4×3/16 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.

HSS14×4×3/16 is a rectangular tube 14 in. by 4 in. with a 3/16 in. nominal wall.

At 22.18 lb per foot it is the lightest of the 6 HSS14×4 sizes, which run from 22.18 to 67.82 lb/ft.

For strong-axis bending its section modulus is Sx = 19.5 in³ and its moment of inertia Ix = 137 in⁴, with a plastic modulus Zx = 25.3 in³.
