RHS 250x150x5 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 250x150 cal 6 (México) · Caño estructural 250x150 (Argentina)
