RHS 32x19x1 Tecnometal · Weight & Dimensions

Tecnometal, cold-formed sections (Brazil) · 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 32x19 cal 18 (México) · Caño estructural 32x19 (Argentina)
