RHS 60x40x3.2 Tata Steel Celsius · Weight & Dimensions

Tata Steel Celsius · 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 11 (México) · Caño estructural 60x40 (Argentina)

The RHS 60x40x3.2 steel profile weighs 4.6 kg/m (3.10 lb/ft), has a depth of 60 mm (2.36 in), flange width 40 mm (1.57 in). Cross-sectional area: 581.46 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 27.38 cm⁴, Iy = 14.406 cm⁴.
