SHS 45x45x4 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 45x45 cal 8 (México) · Caño estructural 45x45 (Argentina)

The SHS 45x45x4 steel profile weighs 4.8 kg/m (3.25 lb/ft), has a depth of 45 mm (1.77 in), flange width 45 mm (1.77 in). Cross-sectional area: 614.796 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 16.611 cm⁴, Iy = 16.611 cm⁴.
