SHS 130x6
BR — 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 130x6 steel profile weighs 22.3 kg/m (14.99 lb/ft), has a depth of 130 mm (5.12 in), flange width 130 mm (5.12 in). Cross-sectional area: 2,976 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 764.44 cm⁴, Iy = 764.44 cm⁴.
Cross-section (not to scale)
Gauge equivalent: 6 mm ≈ 4 gauge (Manufacturers Standard Gage)
