SHS 132x132x4.8 Tata Steel · Weight & Dimensions

Tata Steel, 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 132x132 cal 6 (México) · Caño estructural 132x132 (Argentina)

The SHS 132x132x4.8 steel profile weighs 18.7 kg/m (12.57 lb/ft), has a depth of 132 mm (5.20 in), flange width 132 mm (5.20 in). Cross-sectional area: 2,382.907 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 634.391 cm⁴, Iy = 634.391 cm⁴.
