SHS 130x130x5.6 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 130x130 (México) · Caño estructural 130x130 (Argentina)

The SHS 130x130x5.6 steel profile weighs 21.2 kg/m (14.27 lb/ft), has a depth of 130 mm (5.12 in), flange width 130 mm (5.12 in). Cross-sectional area: 2,705.801 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 687.172 cm⁴, Iy = 687.172 cm⁴.
