RHS 60x30x3 — Dimensions & Section Properties
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 11 (México) · Caño estructural 60x30 (Argentina)
The RHS 60x30x3 steel profile weighs 3.8 kg/m (2.54 lb/ft), has a depth of 60 mm (2.36 in), flange width 30 mm (1.18 in). Cross-sectional area: 504 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 22.51 cm⁴, Iy = 7.28 cm⁴.
Cross-section (not to scale)
Gauge equivalent: 3 mm ≈ 11 gauge (Manufacturers Standard Gage)
