Chicago, Illinois-based Atlas Tube, a division of JMC Steel Group, announced Wednesday the expansion of their jumbo hollow structural sections (HSS) product line with the addition of two new sizes.
Atlas currently offers Jumbo HSS in wall thicknesses of .500" to .875". But now, Atlas Tube will also offer 18" and 20" square Jumbo HSS in a wall thickness of .375". Uses for Jumbo HSS include vertical column and diagonal bracing applications, as well as members of large, long-span trusses. Jumbo HSS is an option for solving complex design challenges for structures with large load demands, e.g., structures in high seismic areas.
