HSS 254x254x6.4
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 254x254x6.4 steel profile weighs 44.5 kg/m (29.90 lb/ft), has a depth of 254 mm (10.00 in), flange width 254 mm (10.00 in). Cross-sectional area: 5,855.2 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 6,010.17 cm⁴, Iy = 6,010.17 cm⁴.
Cross-section (not to scale)
Gauge equivalent: 5.9 mm ≈ 4 gauge (Manufacturers Standard Gage)
