SHS 90x5
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 90x90 cal 6 (México) · Caño estructural 90x90 (Argentina)
The SHS 90x5 steel profile weighs 12.8 kg/m (8.60 lb/ft), has a depth of 90 mm (3.54 in), flange width 90 mm (3.54 in). Cross-sectional area: 1,700 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 205.42 cm⁴, Iy = 205.42 cm⁴.
Cross-section (not to scale)
Gauge equivalent: 5 mm ≈ 6 gauge (Manufacturers Standard Gage)
