RHS 60x40x5 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 60x40 cal 6 (México) · Caño estructural 60x40 (Argentina)

The RHS 60x40x5 steel profile weighs 6.6 kg/m (4.41 lb/ft), has a depth of 60 mm (2.36 in), flange width 40 mm (1.57 in). Cross-sectional area: 835.619 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 35.328 cm⁴, Iy = 18.426 cm⁴.
