SHS 140x140x7.1 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 140x140 (México) · Caño estructural 140x140 (Argentina)

The SHS 140x140x7.1 steel profile weighs 28.6 kg/m (19.23 lb/ft), has a depth of 140 mm (5.51 in), flange width 140 mm (5.51 in). Cross-sectional area: 3,644.543 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 1,053.094 cm⁴, Iy = 1,053.094 cm⁴.
