SHS 63x2
BR — 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 63x2 steel profile weighs 3.7 kg/m (2.47 lb/ft), has a depth of 63 mm (2.48 in), flange width 63 mm (2.48 in). Cross-sectional area: 488 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 30.3 cm⁴, Iy = 30.3 cm⁴.
Cross-section (not to scale)
Gauge equivalent: 2 mm ≈ 14 gauge (Manufacturers Standard Gage)
