SHS 325x325x6 Tecnometal · Weight & Dimensions

Tecnometal, cold-formed sections (Italy) · 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 325x325 cal 4 (México) · Caño estructural 325x325 (Argentina)

The SHS 325x325x6 steel profile weighs 59.4 kg/m (39.90 lb/ft), has a depth of 325 mm (12.80 in), flange width 325 mm (12.80 in). Cross-sectional area: 7,563.292 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 12,747.905 cm⁴, Iy = 12,747.905 cm⁴.

Cross-section (not to scale)

Gauge equivalent: 6 mm ≈ 4 gauge (Manufacturers Standard Gage)
