SHS 25x2
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 25x25 cal 15 (México) · Caño estructural 25x25 (Argentina)
The SHS 25x2 steel profile weighs 1.4 kg/m (0.91 lb/ft), has a depth of 25 mm (0.98 in), flange width 25 mm (0.98 in). Cross-sectional area: 184 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 1.63 cm⁴, Iy = 1.63 cm⁴.
Cross-section (not to scale)
Gauge equivalent: 2 mm ≈ 14 gauge (Manufacturers Standard Gage)
