Rectangular Hollow Section Weight Calculator – RHS Steel Tube

The Rectangular Hollow Section (RHS) Weight Calculator helps engineers, fabricators, and construction professionals calculate the weight of rectangular steel tubes quickly and accurately.

📊 What is RHS?

Rectangular Hollow Section (RHS) is a type of steel profile with a rectangular cross-section. It is widely used in structural frameworks, bridges, construction, and fabrication projects due to its strength and versatility.

📐 Formula Used

Weight per meter = 2 × t × (A + B − 2t) × Density

• A = Height (mm)
• B = Width (mm)
• t = Thickness (mm)
• Density of steel ≈ 7850 kg/m³

📊 Example Calculation

⚙️ How to Use This Calculator

• Enter the height (A) of the section
• Enter the width (B)
• Enter the thickness
• Enter the length of the pipe
• Click calculate to get results instantly

🎯 Why Use This Tool?

• Accurate RHS weight calculation
• Useful for fabrication and construction
• Helps in material estimation
• Saves time and reduces manual errors

📦 Applications of RHS

• Structural frames
• Bridges and buildings
• Automotive industry
• Machinery and fabrication
• Furniture and design structures

⚠️ Important Note

Thickness must always be less than half of the smaller side to maintain a hollow structure.

🚀 Final Thoughts

This RHS calculator simplifies complex weight calculations and helps professionals make better decisions in construction and engineering projects.
