CHS 102x3 Cintac · Weight & Dimensions
Cintac, 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 102x3 steel profile weighs 7.3 kg/m (4.92 lb/ft). Cross-sectional area: 933.053 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 114.416 cm⁴, Iy = 114.416 cm⁴.
Cross-section (not to scale)
Gauge equivalent: 3 mm ≈ 11 gauge (Manufacturers Standard Gage)
