All,
Could someone please help me find a Z purlin that could carry the same loads as a 6"x3"x10Ga Z Purlin? I only need a few of these and 10GA is not a common size. This makes it so I have to order a high quantity to get the 6"x3"x10Ga. Could we go to a 6"x4"x12GA and get similar loading characteristics? Maybe there is a better option that is just one of my ideas. I don't know cold form well enough to answer this question. Could you also please provide the data tables that you used to provide me an alternative? I have included some common AISI Z purlin data tables. I hope this helps in some way. Thanks so much in advance.
