SHS 400x400x10 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 400x400 (México) · Caño estructural 400x400 (Argentina)

The SHS 400x400x10 steel profile weighs 120.4 kg/m (80.94 lb/ft), has a depth of 400 mm (15.75 in), flange width 400 mm (15.75 in). Cross-sectional area: 15,342.478 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 38,561.409 cm⁴, Iy = 38,561.409 cm⁴.
