Section-t

This section is shaped like the letter ‘T’ and consists of a flange and a web. The overall dimensions and thickness designate it. These parts are available in different sizes from 20 mm × 20 mm × 3 mm to 150 mm × 150 mm × 10 mm. The corresponding weight per meter length is 0.90 kg and 22.80 kg respectively. These sections are widely used as truss members for steel roofs and to form built-up sections.

In addition to the above standard shapes, rolled steel sections are also available in miscellaneous sections such as acute and obtuse angle sections, rail sections, tough sections and z-section. These miscellaneous sections are used to a limited extent in the structural steel work.
