HSS 254x152x6.4
AISC — Rectangular Hollow Section
Rectangular Hollow Sections (RHS) are tubular profiles with excellent torsional resistance and aesthetic appeal. Used for columns, trusses, and exposed structural elements.
The HSS 254x152x6.4 steel profile weighs 35.8 kg/m (24.06 lb/ft), has a depth of 254 mm (10.00 in), flange width 152.4 mm (6.00 in). Cross-sectional area: 4,656.3 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 4,164.93 cm⁴, Iy = 1,882.35 cm⁴.
Cross-section (not to scale)
Gauge equivalent: 5.9 mm ≈ 4 gauge (Manufacturers Standard Gage)
