SHS 102x102x6.3 IMCA · Weight & Dimensions

IMCA, 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 102x102 cal 4 (México) · Caño estructural 102x102 (Argentina)

The SHS 102x102x6.3 steel profile weighs 18.2 kg/m (12.22 lb/ft), has a depth of 102 mm (4.02 in), flange width 102 mm (4.02 in). Cross-sectional area: 2,309.429 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 344.384 cm⁴, Iy = 344.384 cm⁴.
