RHS 140x60x4

RHS 140x60x4 is a cold-formed welded rectangular hollow section for structural steel reference and detailing work. This page brings together the profile dimensions, corner-radius information, sectional area, unit weight, applicable standard reference, and a downloadable DWG resource.

Use the values below as a section-reference starting point, then confirm the material grade, fabrication requirements, design actions, connection details, and project specifications before using the section in engineering work. Related references on RHS terminology, section properties, steel grades, and structural connections can help place this profile in its wider design context.

How to read this RHS reference

The designation RHS 140x60x4 identifies a rectangular hollow section by its nominal depth, width, and wall thickness. The listed corner radii describe the formed transitions between the flat faces, while the sectional area and unit weight support material takeoff, drafting, and preliminary reference tasks.

Standard and product context

The source references EN 10219-2, which addresses dimensions, tolerances, and sectional properties for cold-formed welded structural hollow sections. It complements EN 10219-1, which covers technical delivery conditions. These references should be read together with the supplier documentation and project requirements when fabrication or design decisions depend on tolerances, material condition, or delivery requirements.

Design and detailing considerations

Geometric data alone does not establish a member’s design resistance. Engineering checks may also depend on steel grade, load effects, restraint, local and global buckling, connection behavior, corrosion protection, fabrication, and applicable design rules. The reported section properties should therefore be used with the relevant design basis rather than treated as a complete design verification.

CAD and drafting resource

The downloadable DWG provides a practical starting point for drawings and layout work. Check the drawing against the project convention, fabrication information, and the governing product documentation before issuing it for construction.

RHS 140x60x4 FAQ

What does RHS mean?

RHS means rectangular hollow section. It describes a hollow steel profile with a rectangular outside form and formed corner transitions.

Which standard is referenced for this profile?

The page references EN 10219-2 for dimensions, tolerances, and sectional properties of cold-formed welded structural hollow sections. EN 10219-1 is identified for technical delivery conditions.

What information is provided for RHS 140x60x4?

The reference lists the nominal dimensions, outer and inner corner radii, sectional area, and unit weight, along with access to a DWG file.

Can the listed properties be used as a complete design check?

No. Section data is only one part of structural verification. Confirm the steel grade, loading, restraint, buckling behavior, connection design, fabrication requirements, and applicable project design rules.
