SHS 101.6x101.6x7.95 CISC · Weight & Dimensions

CISC, 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 101.6x101.6 (México) · Caño estructural 101.6x101.6 (Argentina)

The SHS 101.6x101.6x7.95 steel profile weighs 22.1 kg/m (14.85 lb/ft), has a depth of 101.6 mm (4.00 in), flange width 101.6 mm (4.00 in). Cross-sectional area: 2,815.31 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 398.973 cm⁴, Iy = 398.973 cm⁴.
