CHS 60x5.5 AHMSA · Weight & Dimensions
AHMSA, 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 60x5.5 steel profile weighs 7.4 kg/m (4.97 lb/ft). Cross-sectional area: 941.692 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 35.319 cm⁴, Iy = 35.319 cm⁴.
Cross-section (not to scale)
Gauge equivalent: 5.5 mm ≈ 4 gauge (Manufacturers Standard Gage)
