SHS 260x260x16 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 260x260 (México) · Caño estructural 260x260 (Argentina)

The SHS 260x260x16 steel profile weighs 120.0 kg/m (80.64 lb/ft), has a depth of 260 mm (10.24 in), flange width 260 mm (10.24 in). Cross-sectional area: 15,176.495 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 14,861.94 cm⁴, Iy = 14,861.94 cm⁴.
