RHS 60x33x3 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 60x33 cal 11 (México) · Caño estructural 60x33 (Argentina)
