SHS 250x250x5 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 250x250 cal 6 (México) · Caño estructural 250x250 (Argentina)

The SHS 250x250x5 steel profile weighs 38.0 kg/m (25.53 lb/ft), has a depth of 250 mm (9.84 in), flange width 250 mm (9.84 in). Cross-sectional area: 4,835.619 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 4,805.01 cm⁴, Iy = 4,805.01 cm⁴.
