RHS 200x150x6
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 200x150x6 steel profile weighs 31.0 kg/m (20.83 lb/ft), has a depth of 200 mm (7.87 in), flange width 150 mm (5.91 in). Cross-sectional area: 4,056 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 2,358.63 cm⁴, Iy = 1,507.69 cm⁴.
Cross-section (not to scale)
Gauge equivalent: 6 mm ≈ 4 gauge (Manufacturers Standard Gage)
