RHS 200x80x8 is a cold formed welded rectangular steel tube reference for checking the listed dimensions, corner radii, sectional area, and unit weight. This page also identifies the applicable European standard reference and provides access to a DWG file for drafting workflows.
Use the source values as a section-reference starting point, then confirm material grade, design actions, connection details, fabrication requirements, and applicable project specifications before using the section in engineering work.
RHS 200x80x8
Cold Formed Welded Rectangular Steel Tubes
refer to : EN 10219-2
the European standard that specifies tolerances, dimensions, and sectional properties for cold-formed welded structural hollow sections made of non-alloy and fine grain steels. It complements EN 10219-1, which covers technical delivery conditions.
Dimension : 200x80x8
Depth : 200 mm
Width : 80 mm
Thickness : 8 mm
Outer Corner Radius : 20 mm
Inner Corner Radius : 12 mm
Sectional Area : 40.04 cm2
Unit Weight : 31.4 kg/m
RHS 200x80x8 reference details
The designation RHS 200x80x8 describes a rectangular hollow section with a listed depth of 200 mm, width of 80 mm, and wall thickness of 8 mm. The source also lists an outer corner radius of 20 mm and an inner corner radius of 12 mm. These corner dimensions are relevant when interpreting the actual formed profile rather than treating it as a sharp-cornered rectangle.
Sectional area and unit weight
The listed sectional area is 40.04 cm2, and the listed unit weight is 31.4 kg/m. These values are useful for reference, quantity takeoffs, and preliminary coordination. They should not be treated as a substitute for a complete design check, because structural performance also depends on material properties, restraint, loading, member length, connections, and the governing design requirements.
Standard reference
The source refers to EN 10219-2, which addresses dimensions, tolerances, and sectional properties for cold-formed welded structural hollow sections. It is identified alongside EN 10219-1, which covers technical delivery conditions. Consult the project specification and the applicable standard documentation when verifying manufacturing or procurement requirements.
CAD and drafting use
The available DWG download can support layout, detailing, and coordination tasks. Before issuing drawings, check the profile orientation, corner geometry, material callout, connection detailing, and any fabrication allowances required by the project.
