SHS 127x127x9.5 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 127x127 (México) · Caño estructural 127x127 (Argentina)

The SHS 127x127x9.5 steel profile weighs 33.3 kg/m (22.39 lb/ft), has a depth of 127 mm (5.00 in), flange width 127 mm (5.00 in). Cross-sectional area: 4,232.586 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 945.803 cm⁴, Iy = 945.803 cm⁴.
