SHS 60x60x8 Tuflesa · Weight & Dimensions

Tuflesa, cold-formed sections · 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 (México) · Caño estructural 60x60 (Argentina)

The SHS 60x60x8 steel profile weighs 11.8 kg/m (7.91 lb/ft), has a depth of 60 mm (2.36 in), flange width 60 mm (2.36 in). Cross-sectional area: 1,499.186 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 63.479 cm⁴, Iy = 63.479 cm⁴.
