RHS 60x30x2.5 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 60x30 cal 13 (México) · Caño estructural 60x30 (Argentina)

The RHS 60x30x2.5 steel profile weighs 3.2 kg/m (2.16 lb/ft), has a depth of 60 mm (2.36 in), flange width 30 mm (1.18 in). Cross-sectional area: 408.905 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 17.936 cm⁴, Iy = 6 cm⁴.
