RHS 120x60x5
EN — 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 RHS 120x60x5 steel profile weighs 12.8 kg/m (8.60 lb/ft), has a depth of 120 mm (4.72 in), flange width 60 mm (2.36 in). Cross-sectional area: 1,700 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 309.42 cm⁴, Iy = 101.42 cm⁴.
Cross-section (not to scale)
Gauge equivalent: 5 mm ≈ 6 gauge (Manufacturers Standard Gage)
