SHS 170x170x8 NBE EA-95 · Weight & Dimensions

NBE EA-95, 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 170x170 (México) · Caño estructural 170x170 (Argentina)

The SHS 170x170x8 steel profile weighs 39.0 kg/m (26.19 lb/ft), has a depth of 170 mm (6.69 in), flange width 170 mm (6.69 in). Cross-sectional area: 4,964.248 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 2,118.178 cm⁴, Iy = 2,118.178 cm⁴.
