RHS 200x100x6
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 200x100x6 steel profile weighs 26.0 kg/m (17.47 lb/ft), has a depth of 200 mm (7.87 in), flange width 100 mm (3.94 in). Cross-sectional area: 3,456 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 1,793.91 cm⁴, Iy = 599.03 cm⁴.
Cross-section (not to scale)
Gauge equivalent: 6 mm ≈ 4 gauge (Manufacturers Standard Gage)
