A document providing dimensional specifications for a specific type of structural steel, generally presented in portable document format. This resource delineates key measurements such as web height, flange width, material thickness, and weight per unit length for various designations of the profile. For example, a chart might list dimensions for a C6x8.2, indicating a channel approximately 6 inches deep and weighing 8.2 pounds per foot.
The availability of standardized reference materials is critical in engineering, construction, and manufacturing. These charts enable accurate material selection, facilitate precise design calculations, and ensure compatibility across different project phases. They reduce the risk of errors, streamline procurement processes, and contribute to the overall efficiency and safety of structural projects. Historically, such information was often found in printed handbooks, but digital formats offer enhanced accessibility and ease of distribution.
