2. ASTM A500 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASTM_A500

   ASTM A500. ASTM A500 is a standard specification published by the ASTM for cold-formed welded and seamless carbon steel structural tubing in round, square, and rectangular shapes. It is commonly specified in the US for hollow structural sections, but the more stringent CSA G40.21 is preferred in Canada. Another related standard is ASTM A501 ...

3. Hollow structural section - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollow_structural_section

   A hot-rolled HSS-box section cut open with a bandsaw, demonstrating residual stress. A hollow structural section ( HSS) is a type of metal profile with a hollow cross section. The term is used predominantly in the United States, or other countries which follow US construction or engineering terminology. HSS members can be circular, square, or ...

4. Pipe (fluid conveyance) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipe_(fluid_conveyance)

   Aluminum pipe or tubing may be utilized where iron is incompatible with the service fluid or where weight is a concern; aluminum is also used for heat transfer tubing such as in refrigerant systems. Copper tubing is popular for domestic water (potable) plumbing systems; copper may be used where heat transfer is desirable (i.e. radiators or heat ...

5. Structural steel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_steel

   Structural steel. Structural steel is a category of steel used for making construction materials in a variety of shapes. Many structural steel shapes take the form of an elongated beam having a profile of a specific cross section. Structural steel shapes, sizes, chemical composition, mechanical properties such as strengths, storage practices ...

6. Tube bending - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tube_bending

   A trombone with some U-bends. Tube bending is any metal forming processes used to permanently form pipes or tubing. Tube bending may be form-bound or use freeform-bending procedures, and it may use heat supported or cold forming procedures. Form bound bending procedures like “press bending” or “rotary draw bending” are used to form the ...

7. Tube (structure) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tube_(structure)

   Tube (structure) John Hancock Center in Chicago, designed in 1965 and finished in 1969, is an example of the trussed tube structural design. In structural engineering, the tube is a system where, to resist lateral loads (wind, seismic, impact), a building is designed to act like a hollow cylinder, cantilevered perpendicular to the ground.
