SHS 250x8
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 250x8 steel profile weighs 58.2 kg/m (39.11 lb/ft), has a depth of 250 mm (9.84 in), flange width 250 mm (9.84 in). Cross-sectional area: 7,744 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 7,566.92 cm⁴, Iy = 7,566.92 cm⁴.
