RHS 80x40x1.2 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 80x40 cal 18 (México) · Caño estructural 80x40 (Argentina)
