H-172-OSA

Material

H-Strut channels are produced from prime structural metals covered by the following specifications. (See the technical section for additional information.)

• Aluminum (Type 6063-T6) – ASTM B221
• Plain Steel – ASTM A1011 SS Grade 33
• Pre-Galvanized Steel – ASTM A653 SS Grade 33, G90
• Stainless Steel (Type 304 & 316L) – ASTM A240
• Other materials and specifications are available upon request.

Finishes

H-Strut is available in powder-coated and zinc trivalent. Other finishes are available upon request.

• Hot-Dip Galvanized – ASTM A123
• Zinc Trivalent Chromium (ZTC) – ASTM B633
• Powder-Coated

Loading Data

• Load capacities include a safety factor of 1.68 for beam loads and 1.80 for column loads.
• When calculating load at the center of the span, multiply the load from the table by 0.5 and deflection by 0.8.
• When calculating beam and column loads for aluminum, multiply by 33%.

General

H-STRUT® channels are manufactured from high quality, domestically sourced structural steel and roll formed into shape. These products comply with MFMA-4 standards, and beam and column load tables are calculated in accordance with the ANSI North American Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members, 2016 Edition.

Welding

Channel combinations of two or more elements are spot welded together to form various multiple combinations. The spot welds are placed two inches on center throughout the length of the multiple channel sections.

Length Information

H-Strut channels are produced in standard 10' and 20' lengths with a tolerance of ±¹⁄₈". Other lengths are available upon request.
