SHS 150x150x5 Tata Steel Hybox · Weight & Dimensions

Tata Steel Hybox · 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 150x150 cal 6 (México) · Caño estructural 150x150 (Argentina)

The SHS 150x150x5 steel profile weighs 22.3 kg/m (14.99 lb/ft), has a depth of 150 mm (5.91 in), flange width 150 mm (5.91 in). Cross-sectional area: 2,835.619 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 982.119 cm⁴, Iy = 982.119 cm⁴.

Cross-section (not to scale)

Gauge equivalent: 5 mm ≈ 6 gauge (Manufacturers Standard Gage)
