RHS 140x60x3
BR — 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 140x60x3 steel profile weighs 8.8 kg/m (5.93 lb/ft), has a depth of 140 mm (5.51 in), flange width 60 mm (2.36 in). Cross-sectional area: 1,164 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 289.25 cm⁴, Iy = 76.17 cm⁴.
Cross-section (not to scale)
Gauge equivalent: 3 mm ≈ 11 gauge (Manufacturers Standard Gage)
