CHS 88.9x5.49 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 88.9x5.49 steel profile weighs 11.3 kg/m (7.59 lb/ft). Cross-sectional area: 1,438.601 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 125.65 cm⁴, Iy = 125.65 cm⁴.

Cross-section (not to scale)

Gauge equivalent: 5.49 mm ≈ 4 gauge (Manufacturers Standard Gage)
