CHS 33.4x3.38 Hylsa · Weight & Dimensions

Hylsa, 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 33.4x3.38 steel profile weighs 2.5 kg/m (1.68 lb/ft). Cross-sectional area: 318.77 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 3.636 cm⁴, Iy = 3.636 cm⁴.

Cross-section (not to scale)

Gauge equivalent: 3.38 mm ≈ 10 gauge (Manufacturers Standard Gage)
