Square tube assumes bending with one side parallel to the load (think square vs diamond). The safety factors use the numbers in the table below for strength. Don’t forget that putting hard metal close to occupants is very dangerous, so the use of proper seating, restraints, padding and helmets should always be considered.
Enter the dimensions of an existing square tubing piece to verify its strength and load-bearing capacity. This validation ensures that the chosen tubing meets the required standards for your project. Optimize the design by adjusting tubing dimensions for maximum strength
Square steel tubing performs better in terms of strength when the tube needed is long. Over longer distances of tubing, a square shape will bend less than a round one. Square steel tubing is also preferred if the tube must fit snugly into its surroundings.
This specification covers cold-formed welded carbon steel hollow structural sections (HSS) for welded or bolted construction. Where: H = Height. W = Width. t = Wall thickness. I = Area moment of inertia. S = Elastic section modulus. Z = Plastic section modulus. J = Torsional stiffness of cross section.
The Square Tubing Strength Calculator aids engineers and designers by providing quick, reliable calculations for the strength of square tubing, ensuring structural integrity in their projects.
SQUARE AND RECTANGULAR TUBING. Structural tubing is relatively low in cost, has a high strength-to-weight ratio, and is easily welded, formed, punched and drilled. The tubing’s hollow shape protects and conceals wires, pipe and moving parts. It also can be left exposed.
Use “Capacity” to find the axial strength for HSS of different sizes, or use “Size” to enter a required length and strength and find the HSS sizes that fulfill your parameters.
