HSS10x10x1/4 (HSS10x10x.25) – HSS Shapes - Square

HSS10x10x1/4 is a 10 in (254 mm) square hollow section with a 1/4 in (6 mm) nominal wall, weighing 32.63 lb/ft (48.6 kg/m).

Square HSS (Hollow Structural Sections) are closed, tube-shaped sections with equal depth and width. The closed profile gives excellent torsional stiffness and identical strength about both axes, a meaningful advantage over open shapes such as W or C sections. That symmetry makes square HSS a natural choice for columns, particularly where architecturally exposed structural steel is part of the design, and for posts, bracing and light framing where equal biaxial capacity and a clean profile matter more than bending capacity in one direction.
