RHS 60x30x2 · Weight & Dimensions

BR — 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.

Also known as: PTR 60x30 cal 15 (México) · Caño estructural 60x30 (Argentina)

The RHS 60x30x2 steel profile weighs 2.6 kg/m (1.73 lb/ft), has a depth of 60 mm (2.36 in), flange width 30 mm (1.18 in). Cross-sectional area: 344 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 15.95 cm⁴, Iy = 5.3 cm⁴.

Cross-section (not to scale)

Gauge equivalent: 2 mm ≈ 14 gauge (Manufacturers Standard Gage)
