CHS 60x5.54 IMCA · Weight & Dimensions

IMCA, 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 60x5.54 steel profile weighs 7.4 kg/m (5.00 lb/ft). Cross-sectional area: 947.845 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 35.504 cm⁴, Iy = 35.504 cm⁴.

Cross-section (not to scale)

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