5 General Product Information Thickness - Steel Components Steel Thickness Table Designation Thickness (mil) Minimum Thickness 1 (in) Table Notes 1 Minimum thickness represents 95 percent of the design thickness and is the minimum acceptable thickness delivered to the jobsite based on Section A2.4 of AISI S The tables in this catalog are calculated based on inside corner radii listed in this table. The inside corner radius is the maximum of 3 /32 t/2 or 1.5t, truncated after the fourth decimal place (t = design thickness). Centerline bend radius is calculated by adding half of the design thickness to listed corner radius. Screw Capacities Design Thickness 1 (in) Design Inside Corner Radii 2 (in) Reference Only Gauge No D Drywall D Drywall Drywall 33EQS Structural Structural 43EQS SSMA Proprietary Thickness (mil) 1 Fy Yield (ksi) Fu Tensile (ksi) Allowable Screw Connection Capacity (lbs per screw) Weld Capacities Allowable Welds Capacity (lbs) for 1" Long Welds Thickness (mil) 1 Design Thickness 43EQS * -* * -* * -* Table Notes 1. Capacities based on AISI S Section E2.4 for fillet welds and E2.5 for flare groove welds. 2. When connecting materials of different steel thicknesses or tensile strengths, use the values that correspond to the thinner or lower yield material. 3. Capacities are based on Allowable Strength Design (ASD) and include appropriate safety factors. 4. Weld capacities are based on either 3 /32" or ⅛" diameter E60 or E70 electrodes. For thinner materials, 0.030" to 0.035" diameter wire electrodes may provide best results. 5. Parallel capacity is considered to be loading in the direction of the length of the weld. 6. For welds greater than 1", equations E2.4-1 and E2.4-2 must be checked. 7. For flare groove welds, the effective throat of weld is conservatively assumed to be less than 2t. 8. *Flare grove weld capacity for material thicker than 0.10" requires engineering judgement to determine leg of welds (W1 and W2). #6 Screw #8 Screw #10 Screw #12 Screw 1/4" Screw 0.138" dia; 5/16" Head 0.164" dia; 5/16" Head 0.190" dia; 0.340" Head 0.216" dia; 0.340" Head 0.250" dia; 0.409" Head Shear Tension Shear Tension Shear Tension Shear Tension Shear Tension D D EQS EQS Table Notes 1. Capacities based on AISI S Section E4. See table on page 5 for design thicknesses. 2. When connecting materials of different steel thicknesses or tensile strengths, use the lowest values. Tabulated values assume two sheets of equal thickness are connected. 3. Capacities are based on Allowable Strength Design (ASD) and include safety factor of Where multiple fasteners are used, screws are assumed to have a center-to-center spacing of at least 3 times the nominal diameter (d) 5. Screws are assumed to have a center-of-screw to edge-of-steel dimension of at least 1.5 times the nominal diameter (d) of the screw. Fy Yield (ksi) Fu (ksi) Fillet Welds Flare Groove Welds Parallel Perpendicular Parallel Perpendicular 6. Tension capacity is based on the lesser of pullout capacity in sheet closest to screw tip, or pullover capacity for sheet closest to screw head (based on head diameter shown). Note that for all tension values shown in this table, pullover values have been reduced by 50 percent assuming eccentrically loaded connections that produce a non-uniform pull-over force on the fastener. 7. Higher values, especially for screw strength, may be obtained by specifying screws from a specific manufacturer. See manufacturer's data for specific allowable values and installation instructions. Load Paths All product load capacities are calculated per North American Specification for the Design of Cold Formed Steel Structural Members. The 2007 edition (here after referred to as simply "NASPEC"). Illustrations of load instructions are amongst their relative product load tables located throughout this catalog. Figure to the right demonstrates different types of load directions mentioned in this catalog.

6 General Product Information Submittal Builder Steel-Con has developed a quick and easy process for gathering specific submittal data sheets without depending on mail, fax, or . The submittal builder is an online form that can be found at Steel-Con.com. Currently, submittal builder will produce specification for track, studs, furring channel, U-channel, I-studs and additional specialty products. The first step in building your submittal is to enter project information you may want to show on the submittal, and then enter the specifics of each member needed and hit print. This will give you a clean and legible cut sheet to submit to the general contractor or architect/engineer.
