8 Dimensions and sectional properties

The nominal sectional properties of hollow sections within the scope of this part of EN 10219 and

manufactured to the dimensional tolerances of this standard, required for the purposes of structural

design, shall be calculated in accordance with Annex A.

The sectional properties for a limited range of standard sizes of cold formed hollow sections are given

in Table B.1 for circular sections, Table B.2 for square sections, Table B.3 for rectangular sections and

Table B.4 for elliptical hollow sections. These sectional properties were calculated from the formulae

given in Annex A.

NOTE Not all sizes and thicknesses shown in Tables B.1, B.2, B.3 and B.4 are available from all manufacturers

and the user is recommended to check availability. Other sizes and thicknesses within the scope of this standard

may be available.

A.1 General

Tables B.1, B.2, B.3 and B.4 of this standard give nominal sectional properties for a limited range of sizes

of cold formed hollow sections. The nominal sectional properties of hollow sections supplied to the

requirements of this standard shall be calculated using the formulae given below.

NOTE The designation of the sections' major axis (yy) and minor axis (zz) aligns with the axis designation

used for structural design in the structural Eurocodes. This is a change from previous axis designations.

A.2 Circular hollow sections

The sectional properties for circular hollow sections in Table B.1 are calculated using the formulae

given below
Specified outside diameter (D) (mm)
Specified thickness (T) (mm)
Inside diameter (d = D - 2T) (mm)

These parameters, which characterize the shape of circular hollow sections, may vary within the

tolerances allowed by this standard and the sectional properties still remain valid.

The sectional properties for square hollow sections in Table B.2 and for rectangular hollow sections in

Table B.3 are calculated using the formulae given below
Specified side dimension of a square hollow section or shorter side of (B) (mm)
a rectangular hollow section
Specified dimension of the longer side of a rectangular hollow section (H) (mm)
Specified thickness (T) (mm)
External corner radius (r ) for calculation is:
for thicknesses ≤ 6 mm 2,0 T (mm)
for thicknesses > 6 mm ≤ 10 mm 2,5 T (mm)
for thicknesses > 10mm 3,0 T (mm)
Internal corner radius (r ) for calculation is:
for thicknesses ≤ 6 mm 1,0 T (mm)
for thicknesses > 6 mm and ≤ 10 mm 1,5 T (mm)
for thicknesses > 10 mm 2,0 T (mm)

These parameters, which characterize the geometric shape of rectangular, or square, hollow sections,

may vary within the tolerances allowed by this standard and the sectional properties still remain valid.

A.4 Elliptical hollow sections

The sectional properties for elliptical hollow sections in Table B.4 are calculated using the formulae

given below
Specified outside dimension of an elliptical section on its major axis (H) (mm)
Specified outside dimension of an elliptical section on its minor axis (B) (mm)
Specified thickness (T) (mm)

These parameters, which characterize the geometric shape of elliptical hollow sections, may vary

within the tolerances allowed by this standard and the sectional properties still remain valid.
