Applications:

• “Z” shaped section may be used over single spans, unlapped continuous spans and lapped continuous spans in multi-bay buildings. Lapped spans result in a considerable load bearing capacity increase in the system.
• “C” shaped section may be used over single spans and unlapped continuous spans in multi-bay buildings. They are ideal as eave purlins or where compact sections are required.
• The “C” shaped section cannot be used in overlapping structures.

Specification

• All Z & C-section product is manufactured from hot dipped galvanized steel to BS EN10346:2015, Z275 coating and with a minimum yield strength of 450N/mm2.

Z-section Dimensions and Properties

The section reference of a Z-section 232mm deep and 1.8mm thick would be 232 Z 18. The first 3 digits of the section reference indicate the depth of the section in millimeters (i.e. 232 equals 232mm deep). The fourth digit is a letter that signifies the profile type (ie Z for Z-section). The last two digits indicate the material thickness (i.e. 18 =1.8mm).
