SHS 300x10
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 300x300 (México) · Caño estructural 300x300 (Argentina)
The SHS 300x10 steel profile weighs 86.6 kg/m (58.20 lb/ft), has a depth of 300 mm (11.81 in), flange width 300 mm (11.81 in). Cross-sectional area: 11,600 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 16,278.67 cm⁴, Iy = 16,278.67 cm⁴.
