CHS 82.5x3.2 Tecnometal · Weight & Dimensions
Tecnometal, cold-formed sections (Spain) · 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 82.5x3.2 steel profile weighs 6.3 kg/m (4.21 lb/ft). Cross-sectional area: 797.211 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 62.768 cm⁴, Iy = 62.768 cm⁴.
Cross-section (not to scale)
Gauge equivalent: 3.2 mm ≈ 10 gauge (Manufacturers Standard Gage)
