HSS24×12×1/4 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.

HSS24×12×1/4 is a rectangular tube 24 in. by 12 in. with a 1/4 in. nominal wall.

At 59.85 lb per foot it is the lightest of the 8 HSS24×12 sizes, which run from 59.85 to 222.63 lb/ft.

For strong-axis bending its section modulus is Sx = 106 in³ and its moment of inertia Ix = 1280 in⁴, with a plastic modulus Zx = 129 in³.
