RHS 200x100x8

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 200x100x8 steel profile weighs 33.7 kg/m (22.65 lb/ft), has a depth of 200 mm (7.87 in), flange width 100 mm (3.94 in). Cross-sectional area: 4,544 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 2,306.01 cm⁴, Iy = 757.85 cm⁴.
