SHS 250x10
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 250x250 (México) · Caño estructural 250x250 (Argentina)
The SHS 250x10 steel profile weighs 71.2 kg/m (47.85 lb/ft), has a depth of 250 mm (9.84 in), flange width 250 mm (9.84 in). Cross-sectional area: 9,600 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 9,232 cm⁴, Iy = 9,232 cm⁴.
