  • Details
  • AS/NZS 1163 C250 is a type of cold-formed structural steel hollow section specified in the Australian and New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 1163. Here are the detailed descriptions:

    General Description
    Grade Meaning: The grade designation "C250" is based on the steel's nominal minimum yield strength of 250 MPa. The prefix "C" indicates that the section is cold-formed.
    ● Manufacturing Method: It is typically produced by cold forming and electric resistance welding, without requiring heat treatment.
    ● AS/NZS 1163 C350 Steel Pipes:
    Standard: AS 1163
    Grade: C250, C250L0, C350, C350L0, C450, C450L0
    Outside diameter: 20-660mm                                                              Wall Thickness: 1.3-16mm
    Outside diameter: 20*20-1200*1200mm                                           Wall Thickness: 1.3-50mm
    Outside diameter: 20*30-1500*1200mm                                           Wall Thickness: 1.2-50mm
    The Wall Thickness Tolerance: Control within the standard limits
    Length: normally 5.8m, 6m, 12m or as your required
    Surface Treatment: Bare Finish, Painting, Oiling, Galvanization, 3PE, FBE coated......

     

     

    Key Features Of AS/NZS 1163 C250
    Material Properties:
    ● Minimum Yield Strength: 250 MPa
    ● Tensile Strength: Typically 320 MPa
    ● Elongation: Minimum elongation requirements apply (varies based on section type and thickness, for CHS, d0/t≤15 Minimum is18% ).
     

    Chemical Composition:
    Controlled levels of carbon (C), manganese (Mn), phosphorus (P), sulfur (S), and other elements to ensure weldability and formability.

    ● Carbon (C): ≤ 0.12%
    ● Silicon (Si):≤ 0.05%
    ● Manganese (Mn): ≤ 0.50%
    ● Phosphorus (P), Sulfur (S): Low (≤ 0.030% each)
    ● Micro-alloying Elements: Maximum 0.03%.
    ● Carbon Equivalent (CE): Maximum 0.25%.
     
    Manufacturing Process:
    ● Produced by cold-forming welded steel strips or sheets into hollow sections.
    ● May be supplied in stress-relieved condition to minimize residual stresses.
     

    Dimensional Tolerances:
    Governed by AS/NZS 1163, ensuring consistency in outside dimensions, wall thickness, and straightness.

     
    Comparison With Other Grades:
    Similar to EN 10219 (S235JRH) or ASTM A500 Grade C, but with regional (AU/NZ) testing and certification requirements.

     

    Standards Referenced:
    ● AS/NZS 1163: Main standard for cold-formed hollow sections.
    ● AS 4100: Steel structures design standard (references AS/NZS 1163 for material properties).

     

     

    Applications And Advantages Of C250 Grade
    Applications:
    ● Structural frameworks (buildings, bridges).
    ● Mechanical & architectural uses (handrails, supports).
    ● Transport & machinery (chassis, frames).
    ● Low to medium-stress load-bearing components.
     
    Advantages:
    ● Good weldability and formability due to controlled carbon content.
    ● Suitable for static and dynamic loads in construction.
    ● Cost-effective for light structural applications.
     
    Summary
    In summary, AS/NZS 1163 C250 is a versatile and widely used grade of cold-formed structural steel hollow sections that meets the stringent requirements of the Australian and New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 1163. This grade is characterized by its nominal minimum yield strength of 250 MPa, making it suitable for a variety of structural applications where moderate strength and good formability are required.

     

     

     

AS/NZS 1163 C250 Steel Pipes

AS/NZS 1163 C250 is an Australian/New Zealand Standard that specifies the requirements for cold-formed structural steel hollow sections, including circular, square, and rectangular hollow sections (CHS, SHS, and RHS). The C250 designation refers to the minimum yield strength of the steel, which is 250 MPa.
