SHS 120x120x11 V&M do Brasil · Weight & Dimensions

V&M do Brasil, hot-rolled 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 120x120 (México) · Caño estructural 120x120 (Argentina)

The SHS 120x120x11 steel profile weighs 35.2 kg/m (23.65 lb/ft), has a depth of 120 mm (4.72 in), flange width 120 mm (4.72 in). Cross-sectional area: 4,484.398 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 855.125 cm⁴, Iy = 855.125 cm⁴.
