SHS 30x30x2.6 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 30x30 cal 13 (México) · Caño estructural 30x30 (Argentina)

The SHS 30x30x2.6 steel profile weighs 2.1 kg/m (1.41 lb/ft), has a depth of 30 mm (1.18 in), flange width 30 mm (1.18 in). Cross-sectional area: 267.551 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 3.232 cm⁴, Iy = 3.232 cm⁴.

Cross-section (not to scale)

Gauge equivalent: 2.6 mm ≈ 12 gauge (Manufacturers Standard Gage)
