SHS 260x260x5.9 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 260x260 cal 4 (México) · Caño estructural 260x260 (Argentina)

The SHS 260x260x5.9 steel profile weighs 46.4 kg/m (31.16 lb/ft), has a depth of 260 mm (10.24 in), flange width 260 mm (10.24 in). Cross-sectional area: 5,907.117 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 6,307.777 cm⁴, Iy = 6,307.777 cm⁴.
