Quick steel question
Quick steel question
(OP)
When you are told that you are using 350W steel, what does the 350 represent? What does the W represent?
Its a study question, but just wanted to run it by you guys so i know i am correct.
W represents that the steel is weldable
350 describes the nominal depth(feel like i am wrong on this one?!)
Thanks in advance.

350 is Fy in MPa. I am not looking now for the W meaning in the spec since I don't practice in Canada, but I may have the info somewhere and say if no other explains before.
