Weight Reference All weights shown are theoretical values based on carbon steel density (7.85 g/cm³).
For detailed weight calculations and extended size data, see: Rectangular Tube Weight Chart (kg/m) + Formula
Selecting the right rectangular tube (RHS) size is not only about dimensions, but also about structural performance.
In structural applications, rectangular sections are typically used where bending occurs in one primary direction. The section height (H) has a direct impact on bending resistance, while wall thickness (t) affects both strength and local stability.
- Small sections (40–80 mm range)
Suitable for light fabrication, frames, and non-structural components where loads are limited and ease of fabrication is a priority.
- Medium sections (90–150 mm range)
Common in building frames, supports, and general structural applications. This range provides a practical balance between load capacity, weight, and cost.
- Large sections (160 mm and above)
Used in columns, primary structural members, and heavy-load applications where higher bending stiffness and load-bearing capacity are required.
Rectangular tube size selection is usually finalized during structural design, while the final specification is often adjusted during procurement based on availability and project requirements.
Using a consistent size and weight reference helps reduce unnecessary changes and keeps projects moving without delays.
For most applications, the standard sizes above will cover the requirement. If not, it’s common to fine-tune dimensions or thickness based on the actual use case.
