SHS 30x1.5
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.
The SHS 30x1.5 steel profile weighs 1.3 kg/m (0.90 lb/ft), has a depth of 30 mm (1.18 in), flange width 30 mm (1.18 in). Cross-sectional area: 171 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 2.32 cm⁴, Iy = 2.32 cm⁴.
Cross-section (not to scale)
Gauge equivalent: 1.5 mm ≈ 16 gauge (Manufacturers Standard Gage)
