RHS 160x80x6.3 Iberian tables · Weight & Dimensions

Iberian tables, 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 160x80 cal 4 (México) · Caño estructural 160x80 (Argentina)
