Steel Section Catalog
HSS 48.3x3.7
AISC — 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.
The HSS 48.3x3.7 steel profile weighs 3.7 kg/m (2.50 lb/ft). Cross-sectional area: 479.6 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 12.16 cm⁴, Iy = 12.16 cm⁴.
Cross-section (not to scale)
Gauge equivalent: 3.4 mm ≈ 10 gauge (Manufacturers Standard Gage)
