Steel Section Catalog
SHS 100x5
EN — 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.
Also known as: PTR 100x100 cal 6 (México) · Caño estructural 100x100 (Argentina)
The SHS 100x5 steel profile weighs 14.2 kg/m (9.54 lb/ft), has a depth of 100 mm (3.94 in), flange width 100 mm (3.94 in). Cross-sectional area: 1,900 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 286.58 cm⁴, Iy = 286.58 cm⁴.
Cross-section (not to scale)
Gauge equivalent: 5 mm ≈ 6 gauge (Manufacturers Standard Gage)
