CHS 30x2.0 · Weight & Dimensions

EN — Circular Hollow Section

Circular Hollow Sections (CHS) are round tubular profiles with the most efficient cross-section for compression. Used for columns, trusses, and architectural structures.

Also known as: Caño estructural redondo (Argentina)

The CHS 30x2.0 steel profile weighs 1.4 kg/m (0.93 lb/ft). Cross-sectional area: 175.9 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 1.73 cm⁴, Iy = 1.73 cm⁴.

Cross-section (not to scale)

Gauge equivalent: 2 mm ≈ 14 gauge (Manufacturers Standard Gage)
