SHS 160x160x5 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 cal 6 (México) · Caño estructural 160x160 (Argentina)

The SHS 160x160x5 steel profile weighs 23.9 kg/m (16.03 lb/ft), has a depth of 160 mm (6.30 in), flange width 160 mm (6.30 in). Cross-sectional area: 3,035.619 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 1,202.357 cm⁴, Iy = 1,202.357 cm⁴.
