SHS 260x260x10 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 260x260 (México) · Caño estructural 260x260 (Argentina)

The SHS 260x260x10 steel profile weighs 75.8 kg/m (50.94 lb/ft), has a depth of 260 mm (10.24 in), flange width 260 mm (10.24 in). Cross-sectional area: 9,656.637 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 9,864.646 cm⁴, Iy = 9,864.646 cm⁴.
