SHS 100x100x6.3 Iberian tables · Weight & Dimensions

Iberian tables, 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 100x100 cal 4 (México) · Caño estructural 100x100 (Argentina)

The SHS 100x100x6.3 steel profile weighs 17.7 kg/m (11.91 lb/ft), has a depth of 100 mm (3.94 in), flange width 100 mm (3.94 in). Cross-sectional area: 2,259.029 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 322.758 cm⁴, Iy = 322.758 cm⁴.
