HSS4x4x3/8 (HSS4x4x.375) – HSS Shapes - Square
HSS4x4x3/8 is a 4 in (102 mm) square hollow section with a 3/8 in (10 mm) nominal wall, weighing 17.27 lb/ft (25.7 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.
