Round HSS · AISC Shapes Database v15.0 · United States
HSS7.000X0.125 is a round hollow structural section 177.8 mm in outside diameter with a 3.0 mm wall, weighing 13.7 kg/m. The dimensions below are the published AISC Shapes Database v15.0 values; the drawing is generated from them.
Round HSS are structural tubes with identical properties about every axis, tabulated by AISC on the design wall thickness.

Derived section properties
Integrated analytically from the exact circular tube. For HSS7.000X0.125 the computed area agrees with the published value to 0.07% and Ix to 0.12%. Where a value is also published, the published one above is the one to quote.
AISC tabulates hollow-section properties on the design wall (tdes = 0.93 tnom, per AISC 360), while the published mass reflects the nominal wall — which is why mass and area here differ by about 7% by convention, on every AISC hollow section.
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Elastic modulus, Sx | 69,679 mm³ |
| Elastic modulus, Sy | 69,679 mm³ |
| Plastic modulus, Zx | 90,197 mm³ |
| Plastic modulus, Zy | 90,197 mm³ |
| Radius of gyration, rx | 61.8 mm |
| Radius of gyration, ry | 61.8 mm |
S is the elastic modulus and Z the plastic modulus, following AISC 360. Australian and British practice reverse the letters.
