SHS 52x52x2 Hiasa · Weight & Dimensions

Hiasa, 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 52x52 cal 15 (México) · Caño estructural 52x52 (Argentina)

The SHS 52x52x2 steel profile weighs 3.1 kg/m (2.06 lb/ft), has a depth of 52 mm (2.05 in), flange width 52 mm (2.05 in). Cross-sectional area: 389.699 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 16.017 cm⁴, Iy = 16.017 cm⁴.
