SHS 260x260x8 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 260x260 (México) · Caño estructural 260x260 (Argentina)

The SHS 260x260x8 steel profile weighs 61.5 kg/m (41.35 lb/ft), has a depth of 260 mm (10.24 in), flange width 260 mm (10.24 in). Cross-sectional area: 7,844.248 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 8,178.019 cm⁴, Iy = 8,178.019 cm⁴.
