SHS 52x52x2.5 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 13 (México) · Caño estructural 52x52 (Argentina)

The SHS 52x52x2.5 steel profile weighs 3.8 kg/m (2.53 lb/ft), has a depth of 52 mm (2.05 in), flange width 52 mm (2.05 in). Cross-sectional area: 478.905 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 19.218 cm⁴, Iy = 19.218 cm⁴.
