SHS corner radii to EN 10219-2
Cold formed hollow sections to EN 10219-2. The corner radii are not a single value in the standard but a tolerance band that depends on the wall thickness; the model and the properties use the middle of that band, as the catalogues do. The STEP file is a 1,000 mm length.
SHS weight per metre and properties
Weight, area, second moment of area, section modulus and radius of gyration are calculated on the model section, corner radii included, and checked against the catalogues to within 1 %. An SHS 100 × 100 × 5 weighs 14.41 kg/m. Because the section is the same both ways, a single value of I, Wel and i applies to both axes.
Square hollow sections: common questions
- How much does an SHS 100 × 100 × 5 weigh?
- 14.41 kg per metre, from an area of 18.36 cm².
- What is the difference between EN 10219 and EN 10210?
- EN 10219 covers cold formed hollow sections and EN 10210 hot finished ones. Cold forming leaves larger corner radii. The sizes overlap but the radii and properties differ slightly; this page follows EN 10219-2.
