SHS 160x160x12 Condesa · Weight & Dimensions

Condesa, 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 160x160 (México) · Caño estructural 160x160 (Argentina)

The SHS 160x160x12 steel profile weighs 51.0 kg/m (34.24 lb/ft), has a depth of 160 mm (6.30 in), flange width 160 mm (6.30 in). Cross-sectional area: 6,485.947 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 2,224.361 cm⁴, Iy = 2,224.361 cm⁴.
