SHS 76.2x76.2x3.2 Hylsa · Weight & Dimensions

Hylsa, 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 76.2x76.2 cal 11 (México) · Caño estructural 76.2x76.2 (Argentina)

The SHS 76.2x76.2x3.2 steel profile weighs 7.1 kg/m (4.75 lb/ft), has a depth of 76.2 mm (3.00 in), flange width 76.2 mm (3.00 in). Cross-sectional area: 908.03 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 79.444 cm⁴, Iy = 79.444 cm⁴.
