SHS Table — Dimensions, Weight & Section Properties
square hollow section (SHS) per EN 10219 (cold formed)
All common SHS sizes from SHS 20×20 to SHS 300×300. Each size links to a data sheet listing every standard wall thickness with weight and section properties computed from the exact EN 10219-2 geometry.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an SHS profile?
SHS is the European square hollow section (SHS) per EN 10219 (cold formed). Sizes here run from SHS 20×20 to SHS 300×300, each in several wall thicknesses. Hollow sections excel where loads act in more than one direction — torsion, columns, frames — and where a clean closed shape matters.
EN 10219 (cold formed) vs EN 10210 (hot finished) — what is the difference?
Cold formed sections (this table) are shaped from strip at room temperature and have larger corner radii (2t–3t outside); hot finished ones are normalized and have tighter corners, slightly higher mass at the same designation, and better properties for dynamic loading. For ordinary frames and structures, cold formed EN 10219 is the stockholder default.

Values are entered from the governing standard’s published tables and cross-checked programmatically against its mass and section formulas before publication. Spotted an error? Write to advertising@metalabout.net — verified corrections ship within days. About
