Fabricators like working with Atlas Tube’s steel hollow structural sections (HSS) because they’re easy to bend, form, punch and drill. They lie flat and are easy to jig. Welding requires no pre- or post-heating, and mating parts fit together without notching or copying joints. Plus, the smaller surface area reduces the costs of finishing, fireproofing and painting, and the reduced weight cuts shipping costs.
The increased efficiency of HSS over wide flange sections means building with less steel, which means lowering the weight of the structure. Use our comparison tool to see how HSS can save weight on your next project.

Big jobs need big tools — tools like Atlas Tube Jumbo HSS, the largest HSS made in in North America. Designed to support the longest spans and most extreme loads, Jumbo HSS will be readily available with lead times of 2–4 weeks or less, the shortest in the industry. So start planning big jobs today. Atlas Tube is ready to help make those plans real.
With Atlas Tube mills strategically located across North America, you can always get the steel HSS you need, when you need them.
