Roof Purlin Z Purlin Span Table

Purlins and girts are manufactured from high tensile steel for increased strength and reduced weight.

Roof purlin z purlin span table.

Wind snow weight tables flexospan provides standard even profile z purlins and z girts as well as custom profiles and punching patterns. Coating mass of z350 provides long life under normal circumstances. Steel z purlins and z girts are also available with other depths and flange widths. C shaped wall girts may be used for framed openings and other special applications.

Z and c members are available in 8 10 or 12 inch depths. We manufacture any component from 1 2 steel subgirts to 12 section up to 10 gauge. Where span lengths are unequal eg reduced end spans each purlin should have 7 5 of each adjacent span added as the lap length on that spans side of the support. Z and c members are shop punched for simple field bolted connections.

Stramit generally recommends a lap length of 15 of the span. Strong and lightweight our z purlins span upwards of 25 feet depending on the roof load and how spaced out the z purlins are. Standard secondary framing consists of cold formed z shaped roof purlins and wall girts. By the standard the most used placement of purlin span for metal roof is five foot intervals.

Purlin load tables load tables provide unfactored gravity load capacities which are based on the lesser of the purlin working load capacity or as controlled by a deflection limit of span 180. Z450 is also available on request. For 2x6s purlins the posts are spaced in 6 feet distance. For 2x4s purlins the posts are spaced in 4 feet distance.

Houston tx 77075 phone 713 946 7140 us wats 800 324 9992 purlin load tables simple span capacities. Tables include simple continuous lapped and combination spans allowing a comprehensive range of spanning options. If the space between posts is greater than 8 feet then brace is needed to avoid buckling.

The tables also provide ultimate load capacities for gravity load wind uplift and for deflection limits of span 180 and span 150. Z and c20024 purlin span table single span span inward load outward load deflection. Additionally z purlins can be nested together as a splice in roof construction.
