SHS 203x203x9.5 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 203x203 (México) · Caño estructural 203x203 (Argentina)

The SHS 203x203x9.5 steel profile weighs 56.2 kg/m (37.77 lb/ft), has a depth of 203 mm (7.99 in), flange width 203 mm (7.99 in). Cross-sectional area: 7,120.586 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 4,368.709 cm⁴, Iy = 4,368.709 cm⁴.
