Circular Hollow Section · AS/NZS 1163 · Australia / New Zealand
76.1 x 3.2 CHS is a circular hollow section 76.1 mm in outside diameter with a 3.2 mm wall, weighing 5.8 kg/m. The dimensions below are the published AS/NZS 1163 values; the drawing is generated from them.
Circular Hollow Sections are cold-formed tubes to AS/NZS 1163 — efficient in compression and torsion, with identical stiffness about every axis.

Derived section properties
Integrated analytically from the exact circular tube. For 76.1 x 3.2 CHS the computed area agrees with the published value to better than 0.01% and Ix to better than 0.01%. Where a value is also published, the published one above is the one to quote.
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Elastic modulus, Zx | 12,820 mm³ |
| Elastic modulus, Zy | 12,820 mm³ |
| Plastic modulus, Sx | 17,017 mm³ |
| Plastic modulus, Sy | 17,017 mm³ |
| Radius of gyration, rx | 25.8 mm |
