SHS 75x75x4.5 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 75x75 cal 6 (México) · Caño estructural 75x75 (Argentina)

The SHS 75x75x4.5 steel profile weighs 9.6 kg/m (6.42 lb/ft), has a depth of 75 mm (2.95 in), flange width 75 mm (2.95 in). Cross-sectional area: 1,216.852 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 98.552 cm⁴, Iy = 98.552 cm⁴.

Cross-section (not to scale)

Gauge equivalent: 4.5 mm ≈ 7 gauge (Manufacturers Standard Gage)
