AS/NZS 1163:2009 PDF Download

AS/NZS 1163:2009 is a standard that outlines the specifications for cold-formed, electric resistance-welded, carbon steel hollow sections used in structural applications. It encompasses three different strength grades, which can be used with or without impact properties, depending on the welding requirements. The standard is applicable to structural hollow sections that are formed cold and do not undergo subsequent heat treatment.

However, it is important to note that this standard does not cover other types of steel hollow sections, such as submerged arc-welded, helically welded, U'ed and O'ed sections. The standard provides guidelines for the information that should be supplied during the enquiry or order process, as outlined in Appendix A. Additionally, Appendix B provides means for demonstrating conformity with the requirements of this standard.
