SHS 160x160x7 GOST · Weight & Dimensions

GOST, 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 160x160x7 steel profile weighs 32.6 kg/m (21.93 lb/ft), has a depth of 160 mm (6.30 in), flange width 160 mm (6.30 in). Cross-sectional area: 4,157.814 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 1,596.832 cm⁴, Iy = 1,596.832 cm⁴.
