SHS 25x25x2.6 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 25x25 cal 13 (México) · Caño estructural 25x25 (Argentina)

The SHS 25x25x2.6 steel profile weighs 1.7 kg/m (1.14 lb/ft), has a depth of 25 mm (0.98 in), flange width 25 mm (0.98 in). Cross-sectional area: 215.551 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 1.724 cm⁴, Iy = 1.724 cm⁴.
