SHS 300x300x16 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 300x300 (México) · Caño estructural 300x300 (Argentina)

The SHS 300x300x16 steel profile weighs 137.5 kg/m (92.41 lb/ft), has a depth of 300 mm (11.81 in), flange width 300 mm (11.81 in). Cross-sectional area: 17,516.743 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 23,088.022 cm⁴, Iy = 23,088.022 cm⁴.
