HSS 152x152x6.4
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 152x152x6.4 steel profile weighs 26.8 kg/m (18.01 lb/ft), has a depth of 152.4 mm (6.00 in), flange width 152.4 mm (6.00 in). Cross-sectional area: 3,457.4 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 1,238.73 cm⁴, Iy = 1,238.73 cm⁴.
Cross-section (not to scale)
Gauge equivalent: 5.9 mm ≈ 4 gauge (Manufacturers Standard Gage)
