RE: 16" SERIES "S" OWSJ info?

I have an old H table but not an S. I would contact SJI they should have that information on hand. (www.steeljoist.org)

RE: 16" SERIES "S" OWSJ info?

The "S" series was made back in the early 60's by a number of different manufacturers. Either contact SJI or purchase their catalog of old joists.

I show four 16" S-series joists.  Which one did you need?

JD2,
can you share with me the specs for all 4 joists?

Thanks.

RE: 16" SERIES "S" OWSJ info?

I show the last revision to the SJI for S series joists dated October 26, 1960 - the J series is indicated after this date. The first standard loading table showing the S series is dated June 26, 1958, effective January 1, 1959.  Prior to this date I show the SJ series.
