RHS 250x150x6
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 250x150x6 steel profile weighs 35.8 kg/m (24.06 lb/ft), has a depth of 250 mm (9.84 in), flange width 150 mm (5.91 in). Cross-sectional area: 4,656 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 4,027.79 cm⁴, Iy = 1,818.91 cm⁴.
Cross-section (not to scale)
Gauge equivalent: 6 mm ≈ 4 gauge (Manufacturers Standard Gage)
