SHS 100x100x3.75 Tecnometal · Weight & Dimensions
Tecnometal, cold-formed sections (Brazil) · 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 100x100 cal 8 (México) · Caño estructural 100x100 (Argentina)
The SHS 100x100x3.75 steel profile weighs 11.1 kg/m (7.43 lb/ft), has a depth of 100 mm (3.94 in), flange width 100 mm (3.94 in). Cross-sectional area: 1,407.536 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 214.459 cm⁴, Iy = 214.459 cm⁴.
