SHS 270x270x10 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 270x270 (México) · Caño estructural 270x270 (Argentina)

The SHS 270x270x10 steel profile weighs 79.6 kg/m (53.50 lb/ft), has a depth of 270 mm (10.63 in), flange width 270 mm (10.63 in). Cross-sectional area: 10,142.478 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 11,278.541 cm⁴, Iy = 11,278.541 cm⁴.
