HSS20×6×5/8 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.

HSS20×6×5/8 is a rectangular tube 20 in. by 6 in. with a 5/8 in. nominal wall.

At 101.85000000000001 lb per foot it is the heaviest of the 5 HSS20×6 sizes, which run from 42.84 to 101.85000000000001 lb/ft.

For strong-axis bending its section modulus is Sx = 122 in³ and its moment of inertia Ix = 1220 in⁴, with a plastic modulus Zx = 162 in³.
