SHS 250x250x8 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 250x250 (México) · Caño estructural 250x250 (Argentina)

The SHS 250x250x8 steel profile weighs 59.1 kg/m (39.69 lb/ft), has a depth of 250 mm (9.84 in), flange width 250 mm (9.84 in). Cross-sectional area: 7,524.248 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 7,229.205 cm⁴, Iy = 7,229.205 cm⁴.
