SHS 125x125x4.8 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 125x125 cal 6 (México) · Caño estructural 125x125 (Argentina)

The SHS 125x125x4.8 steel profile weighs 17.6 kg/m (11.86 lb/ft), has a depth of 125 mm (4.92 in), flange width 125 mm (4.92 in). Cross-sectional area: 2,248.507 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 534.115 cm⁴, Iy = 534.115 cm⁴.
