SHS 240x240x8 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 240x240 (México) · Caño estructural 240x240 (Argentina)

The SHS 240x240x8 steel profile weighs 57.0 kg/m (38.29 lb/ft), has a depth of 240 mm (9.45 in), flange width 240 mm (9.45 in). Cross-sectional area: 7,259.186 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 6,436.414 cm⁴, Iy = 6,436.414 cm⁴.
