SHS 160x160x8 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 160x160 (México) · Caño estructural 160x160 (Argentina)

The SHS 160x160x8 steel profile weighs 36.9 kg/m (24.79 lb/ft), has a depth of 160 mm (6.30 in), flange width 160 mm (6.30 in). Cross-sectional area: 4,699.186 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 1,776.695 cm⁴, Iy = 1,776.695 cm⁴.
