SHS 60x60x1.5 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 60x60 cal 16 (México) · Caño estructural 60x60 (Argentina)

The SHS 60x60x1.5 steel profile weighs 2.7 kg/m (1.82 lb/ft), has a depth of 60 mm (2.36 in), flange width 60 mm (2.36 in). Cross-sectional area: 345.206 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 19.522 cm⁴, Iy = 19.522 cm⁴.
