CHS 60.3x5.54 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 60.3x5.54 steel profile weighs 7.5 kg/m (5.03 lb/ft). Cross-sectional area: 953.066 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 36.09 cm⁴, Iy = 36.09 cm⁴.

Cross-section (not to scale)

Gauge equivalent: 5.54 mm ≈ 4 gauge (Manufacturers Standard Gage)
