RHS 40x60x1.0
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 40x60x1.0 steel profile weighs 1.5 kg/m (1.03 lb/ft), has a depth of 40 mm (1.57 in), flange width 60 mm (2.36 in). Cross-sectional area: 196 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 5.48 cm⁴, Iy = 10.21 cm⁴.
Cross-section (not to scale)
Gauge equivalent: 1 mm ≈ 18 gauge (Manufacturers Standard Gage)
