SHS 270x270x16 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 270x270x16 steel profile weighs 122.4 kg/m (82.27 lb/ft), has a depth of 270 mm (10.63 in), flange width 270 mm (10.63 in). Cross-sectional area: 15,596.743 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 16,401.862 cm⁴, Iy = 16,401.862 cm⁴.
