SHS 76.2x76.2x4 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 8 (México) · Caño estructural 76.2x76.2 (Argentina)

The SHS 76.2x76.2x4 steel profile weighs 8.6 kg/m (5.80 lb/ft), has a depth of 76.2 mm (3.00 in), flange width 76.2 mm (3.00 in). Cross-sectional area: 1,113.996 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 94.931 cm⁴, Iy = 94.931 cm⁴.
