CHS 25.4x2 Acindar · Weight & Dimensions

Acindar, cold-formed sections · 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 25.4x2 steel profile weighs 1.1 kg/m (0.77 lb/ft). Cross-sectional area: 147.027 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 1.014 cm⁴, Iy = 1.014 cm⁴.

Cross-section (not to scale)

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