CHS 168x36 GOST · Weight & Dimensions

GOST, 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 168x36 steel profile weighs 117.2 kg/m (78.75 lb/ft). Cross-sectional area: 14,928.848 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 3,493.35 cm⁴, Iy = 3,493.35 cm⁴.
