This table provides a comprehensive overview of RHS unit weights for various sizes and thicknesses12. The unit weight is given in kilograms per meter (Kg/m), which is essential for calculating the total weight of steel required for a project. The sizes range from small sections like 25 x 15 mm to large sections like 300 x 200 mm, with thicknesses varying from 1.5 mm to 16 mm.Key points to note:
- As the size and thickness of the RHS increase, the unit weight also increases.
- The lightest RHS in this table is 25 x 15 mm with a thickness of 1.5 mm, weighing 0.852 Kg/m.
- The heaviest RHS listed is 250 x 150 mm with a thickness of 16 mm, weighing 91.500 Kg/m.
- For the same outer dimensions, increasing the thickness results in a higher unit weight.
This information is crucial for structural engineers, architects, and construction professionals when selecting appropriate RHS for various applications, considering both structural requirements and weight constraints.
