RHS 150x100x5 · Weight & Dimensions
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.
Also known as: PTR 150x100 cal 6 (México) · Caño estructural 150x100 (Argentina)
The RHS 150x100x5 steel profile weighs 18.0 kg/m (12.10 lb/ft), has a depth of 150 mm (5.91 in), flange width 100 mm (3.94 in). Cross-sectional area: 2,400 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 754.5 cm⁴, Iy = 399.5 cm⁴.
