A1065 Type 1 HSS Tubing
Valmont Tubing produces jumbo square, rectangle and custom-shaped, high-strength low alloy (HSLA) cold formed electric-fusion arc welded steel tubing to meet ASTM specification A1065 Type 1. Our HSS SuperStruct custom tubes are used in various structural, architectural and industrial applications, and provide unique solutions for architects and engineers. For a listing of the size range of HSS SuperStruct tubes we produce, please visit our HSS SuperStruct Product Catalog. Incremental sizes not shown in the catalog are also available.
To find dimensional properties of the A1065 square and rectangle HSS SuperStruct tube sizes that we produce, including the moment of inertia, elastic section modulus, along with the torsional stiffness and shear constant, please contact us.
Specification Notes
- Under ASTM A1065 Type 1, tubes are produced by press braking two identical sheets of steel into identical C channels. Backing bars are then tack welded to each channel before they are fitted together and welded using the submerged arc welded (SAW) process.
- The standard weld is an 80% weld penetration (PJP - partial joint penetration). For 100% weld penetration (CJP - complete weld penetration), an outside agency shall perform a weld inspection such as UT (ultrasonic testing).
- Welding is in accordance with AWS D1.1, latest edition.
- Sizes that are not listed in tables 4 and 5 of the specification may be ordered provided that all other specifications are met.
- If strength requirements exceed A572 Grade 50 and 50W, dimensional tolerances will be subject to review.
