HSS 102x102x4.8
AISC — Square Hollow Section
Square Hollow Sections (SHS) are tubular profiles with equal sides, ideal for columns and compression members due to their uniform buckling resistance in all directions.
The HSS 102x102x4.8 steel profile weighs 13.6 kg/m (9.14 lb/ft), has a depth of 101.6 mm (4.00 in), flange width 101.6 mm (4.00 in). Cross-sectional area: 1,747.8 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 275.24 cm⁴, Iy = 275.24 cm⁴.
Cross-section (not to scale)
Gauge equivalent: 4.5 mm ≈ 7 gauge (Manufacturers Standard Gage)
