HSS round (or pipe)
Shape file specifications :
![]() |
tw = wall thickness
d = depth |
Other shape file specifications: " Nominal Depth ," " Weight per Unit " (lbs/ft or kg/m), " Structural Properties ."
Additional settings that are not in the local shape file are defined on the Rolled Section Material window. In an SDS2 review station , these additional settings, as well as the shape file specifications, are read-only.
Pipe naming convention: PIPE inside_diameter wall_thickness (wall thickness = STD (standard) or XSTG (extra strong) or XXSTG (extra extra strong)).
HSS round naming convention: HSS+depth+x+wall_thickness .
Examples: PIPE12STD (pipe), HSS12.500x0.500 (HSS round).
Note: HSS round material can be added to a shape file (in a full-featured SDS2 program ) using entirely different naming conventions than those described above.

In Modeling and the Drawing Editor :
An HSS round section must exist in the local shape file before a user of a full-featured SDS2 program can enter it as a " Section size " to a member or material window in Modeling , or before its weight will be automatically calculated when the user adds it to the " Description " field in the bill editor.
