SHS 100x100x8.2 Açotubo · Weight & Dimensions

Açotubo, 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 100x100 (México) · Caño estructural 100x100 (Argentina)

The SHS 100x100x8.2 steel profile weighs 22.3 kg/m (14.97 lb/ft), has a depth of 100 mm (3.94 in), flange width 100 mm (3.94 in). Cross-sectional area: 2,837.882 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 385.731 cm⁴, Iy = 385.731 cm⁴.
