RHS 140x60x5 GOST · Weight & Dimensions

GOST, 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 140x60 cal 6 (México) · Caño estructural 140x60 (Argentina)

The RHS 140x60x5 steel profile weighs 14.4 kg/m (9.68 lb/ft), has a depth of 140 mm (5.51 in), flange width 60 mm (2.36 in). Cross-sectional area: 1,835.619 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 425.893 cm⁴, Iy = 111.161 cm⁴.
