FAQs
What are the advantages of using CHS?
CHS offers several benefits, including high strength-to-weight ratio, excellent load-bearing capacity, and resistance to external forces. Its circular shape allows for efficient weight distribution, making it ideal for both structural and engineering applications.
Is CHS suitable for outdoor and harsh environment applications?
Yes, round hollow sections are highly durable and suitable for outdoor and harsh environments. They are often treated with corrosion-resistant coatings to prevent degradation caused by weather conditions, chemicals, or salt exposure. This makes them ideal for infrastructure projects, such as bridges or offshore platforms, where long-term durability is essential.
Are Round Hollow Bars easy to fabricate and install?
Yes, CHS is relatively easy to fabricate and install, thanks to its uniform shape and availability in standard sizes. Steel CHS can be welded, bolted, or connected to other structural components with ease. Customisation allows for specific lengths and diameters to match your project’s needs, making the installation process more straightforward.
How do I calculate the required size of a section for my project?
The size of the CHS required depends on several factors, including the load it needs to support, the span between supports, and the specific application. Engineering calculations are required to determine the appropriate diameter and wall thickness, ensuring the CHS will meet the structural and safety requirements of your project. Consulting with our team can help you determine the optimal size.
Can Circular Hollow Bars be used for non-structural applications?
Yes, in addition to their structural applications, they are also used for non-structural purposes, such as in furniture design, handrails, and decorative elements. Their smooth finish and versatile properties make them suitable for a wide range of design and manufacturing applications.
How does Circular compare to other steel sections like square or rectangular hollow sections?
Unlike square or rectangular hollow sections, CHS has a uniform shape that provides better resistance to torsion (twisting forces) and is more efficient in distributing loads evenly. The round profile also allows for smooth connections to other structural elements and is more aesthetically pleasing, often chosen for architectural designs.
