RHS 30x14x1.6 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 30x14 cal 16 (México) · Caño estructural 30x14 (Argentina)

The RHS 30x14x1.6 steel profile weighs 1.0 kg/m (0.65 lb/ft), has a depth of 30 mm (1.18 in), flange width 14 mm (0.55 in). Cross-sectional area: 123.967 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 1.275 cm⁴, Iy = 0.375 cm⁴.
