SHS 12x1.0
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.
The SHS 12x1.0 steel profile weighs 0.3 kg/m (0.23 lb/ft), has a depth of 12 mm (0.47 in), flange width 12 mm (0.47 in). Cross-sectional area: 44 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 0.09 cm⁴, Iy = 0.09 cm⁴.
Cross-section (not to scale)
Gauge equivalent: 1 mm ≈ 18 gauge (Manufacturers Standard Gage)
