SHS 250x250x6.3 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 250x250 cal 4 (México) · Caño estructural 250x250 (Argentina)

The SHS 250x250x6.3 steel profile weighs 47.1 kg/m (31.65 lb/ft), has a depth of 250 mm (9.84 in), flange width 250 mm (9.84 in). Cross-sectional area: 6,004.959 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 5,872.622 cm⁴, Iy = 5,872.622 cm⁴.
