SHS 150x150x16 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 150x150 (México) · Caño estructural 150x150 (Argentina)

The SHS 150x150x16 steel profile weighs 62.1 kg/m (41.76 lb/ft), has a depth of 150 mm (5.91 in), flange width 150 mm (5.91 in). Cross-sectional area: 7,916.743 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 2,262.955 cm⁴, Iy = 2,262.955 cm⁴.
