Canam Steel Corporation manufactures 7 1/2" deep steel roof deck. Their designations are H7.5, HA7.5, and LS7.5. I have not specified it recently, but Epic Metals used to make 7 1/2" deep steel roof deck.
Well first thought is 14 or 16 gage thickness - I can't see that the deck would vary in gage thickness...such as a different thickness on top vs. bottom or something like that.
Could be a cellular deck 7.5" deep with 14 gauge over a flat sheet of 16 gauge, but I don't think it is a safe assumption without checking the actual deck.
BA it is a 7 1/2" cellular deck but I can't find info on the thickness. Obviously either 14 or 16 gauge. Called the supplier and they didn't know either.
I think it is a QL deck made by Robertson, pan deck with a mix of 14 and 16 gage like BA said. Was used to provide electrical / mechanical chases in the floor. Seem to recall the nomenclature...
I don't have my catalog with me but will check on Monday at the office.
ron9876, I am wondering if the 16 gauge refers to the liner panel and the 14 gauge refers to the 7.5" deep structural deck, but I don't know if that is the case, so it would be necessary to measure the materials on site.
Sorry, but nothing by that description in Roberston. They had a 3" pan with a 4.5" overlay of concrete for a 7.5" total thickness of the structural system, but no stopped at 16/16. No 7.5" deep pans and no 14/16.
ron,
Since the 14-16 is heavier than the 16-14, I think the pans in the 14-16 would be 14 gauge, and the bottom cover 16 gauge. Looks like you need the next page for the load tables.
I don't recall if there are load tables for this after the page I posted but you can access the whole document at slideruleera's site that I linked to.
