SHS 152.4x152.4x7.95 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 152.4x152.4 (México) · Caño estructural 152.4x152.4 (Argentina)

The SHS 152.4x152.4x7.95 steel profile weighs 34.8 kg/m (23.37 lb/ft), has a depth of 152.4 mm (6.00 in), flange width 152.4 mm (6.00 in). Cross-sectional area: 4,430.75 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 1,511.55 cm⁴, Iy = 1,511.55 cm⁴.
