SHS 180x180x5 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 180x180 cal 6 (México) · Caño estructural 180x180 (Argentina)

The SHS 180x180x5 steel profile weighs 27.0 kg/m (18.12 lb/ft), has a depth of 180 mm (7.09 in), flange width 180 mm (7.09 in). Cross-sectional area: 3,435.619 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 1,736.866 cm⁴, Iy = 1,736.866 cm⁴.
