SHS 200x8
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 200x200 (México) · Caño estructural 200x200 (Argentina)
The SHS 200x8 steel profile weighs 45.8 kg/m (30.78 lb/ft), has a depth of 200 mm (7.87 in), flange width 200 mm (7.87 in). Cross-sectional area: 6,144 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 3,781.43 cm⁴, Iy = 3,781.43 cm⁴.
