Z Purlins
Z Purlins
(OP)
Does anyone know where I can find manufacturers that produce Z purlins (Dietrich or Marino Ware?)? Additionally, I'm looking for Z purlin section properties and potential load/span tables.
Thanks for anyone's help.

Other than that try Google. I know a company called Metal Sales has some load tables for Z shapes. I tend to do the calc myself as I don't always trust manufacturer's load tables.

You may look here but be careful!

Good news-Lots of load tables
Bad news-Non standard section sizes and nomenclature. Not distributed over the entire country. Might not match AISI.
I went down this path recently. My advice is to learn from my mistakes and buy the AISI standards and design guides. At least you'll have the security of using the best reference available.
