SHS 32x32x3 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 32x32 cal 11 (México) · Caño estructural 32x32 (Argentina)

The SHS 32x32x3 steel profile weighs 2.5 kg/m (1.67 lb/ft), has a depth of 32 mm (1.26 in), flange width 32 mm (1.26 in). Cross-sectional area: 324.823 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 4.38 cm⁴, Iy = 4.38 cm⁴.

Cross-section (not to scale)

Gauge equivalent: 3 mm ≈ 11 gauge (Manufacturers Standard Gage)
