RHS 60x40x1.1 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 60x40 cal 18 (México) · Caño estructural 60x40 (Argentina)
