SHS 150x150x6 SAISC · Weight & Dimensions

SAISC, 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 150x150 cal 4 (México) · Caño estructural 150x150 (Argentina)

The SHS 150x150x6 steel profile weighs 26.4 kg/m (17.74 lb/ft), has a depth of 150 mm (5.91 in), flange width 150 mm (5.91 in). Cross-sectional area: 3,363.292 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 1,145.905 cm⁴, Iy = 1,145.905 cm⁴.
