RHS 40x10x1 Hiasa · Weight & Dimensions

Hiasa, 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 40x10 cal 18 (México) · Caño estructural 40x10 (Argentina)

The RHS 40x10x1 steel profile weighs 0.7 kg/m (0.49 lb/ft), has a depth of 40 mm (1.57 in), flange width 10 mm (0.39 in). Cross-sectional area: 93.425 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 1.574 cm⁴, Iy = 0.165 cm⁴.
