Is there a table in the 13th edition giving perimeters of different section sizes? I am looking at table 1-7 for the angles and can't see any perimeter section.

I may not be familiar with what you mean by perimeter. are you referring to the surface area? like 15.4 sq.in./lf?
 
Does this help?

Eric, yes, thats what I meant. Surface area.
 
what a lovely unit ! ... sq.in/lf

btw, how hard is it to calculate ?

and, from my ignorance, why does anyone need it ??

might need to estimate surface area for painting something.
 
The weight to heated perimeter is used for sprayed on fire proofing. If this information is needed, monocote manufactures such as Grace have tables with this information available.

AISC's shapes database V14.0 includes the perimeter for W-shapes.
