CHSSteel
Circular hollow sections (CHS) — structural steel pipe for columns, handrails and architectural features.


Circular hollow section (CHS) is cold-formed structural steel pipe with a round profile, used for columns, handrails, architectural features and general structural work. We supply CHS across the full range of nominal bore and outside-diameter sizes, in wall thicknesses to suit, manufactured to AS/NZS 1163 in Grade C350L0. Available black or galvanised with mill test certificates and full traceability.
