SHS 63.5x63.5x5 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 63.5x63.5 cal 6 (México) · Caño estructural 63.5x63.5 (Argentina)

The SHS 63.5x63.5x5 steel profile weighs 8.7 kg/m (5.83 lb/ft), has a depth of 63.5 mm (2.50 in), flange width 63.5 mm (2.50 in). Cross-sectional area: 1,105.619 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 61.125 cm⁴, Iy = 61.125 cm⁴.

Cross-section (not to scale)

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