RHS 100x20x3.2 Acindar · Weight & Dimensions

Acindar, cold-formed sections · 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 100x20 cal 11 (México) · Caño estructural 100x20 (Argentina)

The RHS 100x20x3.2 steel profile weighs 5.5 kg/m (3.70 lb/ft), has a depth of 100 mm (3.94 in), flange width 20 mm (0.79 in). Cross-sectional area: 700.67 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 67.298 cm⁴, Iy = 4.474 cm⁴.
