SHS 120x120x4 Tata Steel Celsius · Weight & Dimensions

Tata Steel Celsius · 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 120x120 cal 8 (México) · Caño estructural 120x120 (Argentina)

The SHS 120x120x4 steel profile weighs 14.4 kg/m (9.68 lb/ft), has a depth of 120 mm (4.72 in), flange width 120 mm (4.72 in). Cross-sectional area: 1,828.531 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 407.156 cm⁴, Iy = 407.156 cm⁴.

Cross-section (not to scale)

Gauge equivalent: 4 mm ≈ 8 gauge (Manufacturers Standard Gage)
