SHS 52x52x3.5 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 11 (México) · Caño estructural 52x52 (Argentina)

The SHS 52x52x3.5 steel profile weighs 5.1 kg/m (3.41 lb/ft), has a depth of 52 mm (2.05 in), flange width 52 mm (2.05 in). Cross-sectional area: 647.454 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 24.736 cm⁴, Iy = 24.736 cm⁴.
