SHS 152.4x152.4x9.53 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)
