RHS 300x200x6
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 300x200x6 steel profile weighs 44.5 kg/m (29.90 lb/ft), has a depth of 300 mm (11.81 in), flange width 200 mm (7.87 in). Cross-sectional area: 5,856 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 7,575.67 cm⁴, Iy = 4,052.79 cm⁴.
