RHS 100x80x2.5 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 100x80 cal 13 (México) · Caño estructural 100x80 (Argentina)

The RHS 100x80x2.5 steel profile weighs 6.7 kg/m (4.53 lb/ft), has a depth of 100 mm (3.94 in), flange width 80 mm (3.15 in). Cross-sectional area: 858.905 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 126.86 cm⁴, Iy = 90.168 cm⁴.
