SHS 15x15x2 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 15x15 cal 15 (México) · Caño estructural 15x15 (Argentina)

The SHS 15x15x2 steel profile weighs 0.7 kg/m (0.50 lb/ft), has a depth of 15 mm (0.59 in), flange width 15 mm (0.59 in). Cross-sectional area: 93.699 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 0.248 cm⁴, Iy = 0.248 cm⁴.

Cross-section (not to scale)

Gauge equivalent: 2 mm ≈ 14 gauge (Manufacturers Standard Gage)
