Hollow Circle

The hollow circular structural shape, often referred to as a pipe or circular HSS, features an annular cross-section. It is exceptionally efficient in resisting torsional loads and offers excellent resistance to buckling when used as a compression member (column). Its uniform strength in all directions makes it versatile for beams and members in truss systems. This shape provides a high strength-to-weight ratio and is widely used in pipelines, columns, and various structural frameworks.
