25×25×2 SHS Weight, Dimensions and IS 4923 Properties
25×25×2 SHS weighs 1.44 kg per metre as per IS 4923:1997.
- One 6-metre length weighs 8.64 kg · one 12-metre length weighs 17.28 kg
- 25 × 25 mm square section · wall thickness 2.0 mm
- Cross-sectional area 1.84 cm² · Ixx = 1.03 cm⁴
The 25×25×2 SHS is one of the most common small square hollow sections stocked at Indian steel service centres. At 1.44 kg/m it is used for gate infill balusters, furniture legs, handrail infill, modular shelving, and light structural fixtures. APL Apollo and Tata Structura supply this size in YST 240 and YST 310 grade as standard catalogue stock.

Common Applications of 25×25×2 SHS
25×25×2 SHS is widely used in gate fabrication as vertical baluster infill between rails, in furniture manufacture for table and chair legs, and in modular shelving systems. Its 25 mm dimension aligns with standard glass and panel slot fittings. APL Apollo Shyam and Tata Structura both supply this section from distributor stock across India in YST 240 grade for general use and YST 310 for structural applications.
Worked Example
A fabricator in Ahmedabad needs balusters for 12 gates, each gate requiring 18 balusters cut to 900 mm from 25×25×2 SHS. Total length = 12 × 18 × 0.9 = 194.4 m. Weight = 194.4 × 1.44 = 279.9 kg. At a market rate of ₹72,000 per tonne (May 2026), material cost is approximately ₹20,154 before cutting waste.
