AISC database - ASD6 - No Channel Sections listed

AISC database - ASD6 - No Channel Sections listed

(OP)
I was looking in the AISC database under the sections for ASD6. I don't see any C sections called out. They seem to start with ASD 7. Does anyone know if they were called something else prior to ASD7? Maybe U's?
Thanks in advance.

Awesome, that helps a lot. It seems strange because I was looking at some of the old Bethlehem Steel catalogs from even earlier and they seemed to use the C designation (I think).

RE: AISC database - ASD6 - No Channel Sections listed

Bethlehem probably did use "C" for channels long ago. Their nomenclature typically was more intuitive than other producers. As time went by, AISC often changed designations to be in line with Bethlehem's practices.
