SHS 10x10x0.9 Acindar · Weight & Dimensions

Acindar, cold-formed sections · 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 10x10 cal 18 (México) · Caño estructural 10x10 (Argentina)

The SHS 10x10x0.9 steel profile weighs 0.2 kg/m (0.16 lb/ft), has a depth of 10 mm (0.39 in), flange width 10 mm (0.39 in). Cross-sectional area: 30.674 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 0.041 cm⁴, Iy = 0.041 cm⁴.
