SHS 89x89x6.3 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 89x89 cal 4 (México) · Caño estructural 89x89 (Argentina)
The SHS 89x89x6.3 steel profile weighs 15.6 kg/m (10.50 lb/ft), has a depth of 89 mm (3.50 in), flange width 89 mm (3.50 in). Cross-sectional area: 1,981.829 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 219.794 cm⁴, Iy = 219.794 cm⁴.
