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 88.9x4 steel profile weighs 8.4 kg/m (5.63 lb/ft). Cross-sectional area: 1,066.9 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 96.34 cm⁴, Iy = 96.34 cm⁴.
Cross-section (not to scale)
Gauge equivalent: 4 mm ≈ 8 gauge (Manufacturers Standard Gage)
