RHS 30x15x1.1 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 30x15 cal 18 (México) · Caño estructural 30x15 (Argentina)

The RHS 30x15x1.1 steel profile weighs 0.7 kg/m (0.48 lb/ft), has a depth of 30 mm (1.18 in), flange width 15 mm (0.59 in). Cross-sectional area: 91.044 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 1.015 cm⁴, Iy = 0.341 cm⁴.
