SHS 60x60x7.1 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 60x60 (México) · Caño estructural 60x60 (Argentina)

The SHS 60x60x7.1 steel profile weighs 10.8 kg/m (7.24 lb/ft), has a depth of 60 mm (2.36 in), flange width 60 mm (2.36 in). Cross-sectional area: 1,372.543 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 60.725 cm⁴, Iy = 60.725 cm⁴.
