What is st6wf13.5? What is the flange/web size?

What is st6wf13.5? What is the flange/web size?

What is st6wf13.5? What is the flange/web size?

(OP)
I have a drawing that calls for:
st6wf13.5x7'-2 1/2"

and
st15wf54x25'-11"

From the machinery's hand book, I am pretty sure it is  structural "T" and it is, 6 and 15 inches in height and 13.5 and 54 lbs per ft.

My problem is I have searched the hand books that I have and the internet but I can't find the dimensions of the flange and web.

The building was erected in the 60s in Canada. Some of the steel is from Scotland.

Any help would be appreciated.

RE: What is st6wf13.5? What is the flange/web size?

I think you got it.  It is almost certainly a structural T cut from a W shape with the given height and weight per foot.  I guess you just need to get a European steel shape table from the appropriate era.  Maybe someone at AISC may be able to help.

I presume the shapes are near the ones given for a WT6x13 and WT15x54 in todays AISC manual.  Good Luck

RE: What is st6wf13.5? What is the flange/web size?

This is likely a structural tee cut from a W12X27 beam... and is 7'-2-1/2" long.  The W12X27 has a 6-1/2" flange width.
