SHS 60x60x5 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 60x60 cal 6 (México) · Caño estructural 60x60 (Argentina)

The SHS 60x60x5 steel profile weighs 8.1 kg/m (5.46 lb/ft), has a depth of 60 mm (2.36 in), flange width 60 mm (2.36 in). Cross-sectional area: 1,035.619 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 50.494 cm⁴, Iy = 50.494 cm⁴.

Cross-section (not to scale)

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