SHS 135x135x5 Cintac · Weight & Dimensions

Cintac, 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 135x135 cal 6 (México) · Caño estructural 135x135 (Argentina)

The SHS 135x135x5 steel profile weighs 19.9 kg/m (13.38 lb/ft), has a depth of 135 mm (5.31 in), flange width 135 mm (5.31 in). Cross-sectional area: 2,535.619 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 704.909 cm⁴, Iy = 704.909 cm⁴.
