Existing Steel Stud Identification
Existing Steel Stud Identification
(OP)
The attached photo that was sent to me. Can anyone identify this stud?
The stamp reads: WML 0538 50k ICBO ES4943P 16 GA J.M CP60
I believe 0538 refers to the thickness (this matches 16 gage which is noted further down the line)
50k is most likely 50 ksi steel
ICBO 4943P is the old ICBO# (I can't find this size in that report)
CP60 is probably the zinc coating
I don't know what WML or J.M stand for
Thanks

G60 means 0.60 total ounces of zinc per square foot, respectively, applied to both sides of the sheet metal.
0538 = 54 mil = 16 gage ?

As EOR's we should take the responsibility to design our structures to support the components we allow in our design per that industry standards.

The Western Metal Lath and Steel Framing address on the old ER is now a Clark Dietrich location. I am guessing that Western Metal merged with Clark to form Clark Western. And a year or two ago, Clark Western merged with Dietrich. http://www.clarkdietrich.com/about-us/locations
