SHS 100x100x9.5 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 100x100x9.5 steel profile weighs 25.2 kg/m (16.91 lb/ft), has a depth of 100 mm (3.94 in), flange width 100 mm (3.94 in). Cross-sectional area: 3,206.586 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 420.775 cm⁴, Iy = 420.775 cm⁴.
