SHS 120x120x5 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 6 (México) · Caño estructural 120x120 (Argentina)
The SHS 120x120x5 steel profile weighs 17.8 kg/m (11.96 lb/ft), has a depth of 120 mm (4.72 in), flange width 120 mm (4.72 in). Cross-sectional area: 2,257.08 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 493.072 cm⁴, Iy = 493.072 cm⁴.
