SHS 120x120x6.3 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 4 (México) · Caño estructural 120x120 (Argentina)

The SHS 120x120x6.3 steel profile weighs 22.2 kg/m (14.92 lb/ft), has a depth of 120 mm (4.72 in), flange width 120 mm (4.72 in). Cross-sectional area: 2,797.1 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 595.923 cm⁴, Iy = 595.923 cm⁴.
