CHS 60.3x5.5 Tecnometal · Weight & Dimensions

Tecnometal, cold-formed sections (Brazil) · 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 60.3x5.5 steel profile weighs 7.4 kg/m (4.99 lb/ft). Cross-sectional area: 946.876 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 35.902 cm⁴, Iy = 35.902 cm⁴.

Cross-section (not to scale)

Gauge equivalent: 5.5 mm ≈ 4 gauge (Manufacturers Standard Gage)
