SHS 160x160x8 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 160x160 (México) · Caño estructural 160x160 (Argentina)

The SHS 160x160x8 steel profile weighs 37.6 kg/m (25.27 lb/ft), has a depth of 160 mm (6.30 in), flange width 160 mm (6.30 in). Cross-sectional area: 4,754.124 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 1,811.137 cm⁴, Iy = 1,811.137 cm⁴.
