Bar Channel Section Properties

[Strengi]

I've searched high and low, and haven't had much luck finding section properties for steel channel bar stock. I've searched the internet, called various manufacturers, and nothing. Does anyone have this information available? I don't need weight per foot, and know how to calculate these properties, but I'd like to see some published information. In particular, I'm looking for the section properties for 2" x 9/16" x 3/16" bar channel. Any information you could provide would be more than helpful.

I'm confused by your dimensions, is this the type of channel:

Yes, I'm looking for section properties for that type of channel.

Those are standard channels and the properties are listed in the steel handbook. You can also find them at the following link:

Oops, sorry...3" is the smallest channel listed.

I see that bar sized channel section in a RYERSON catalog, but no section properties given. I don’t think they are really standardized sections, and that they may vary a bit from mill to mill or by supplier. I suspect you’ll have to measure what you are working with and calc. your own section props. and then worry about the actual steel spec. they are made of.
