Where can I find the dimensions for channels 4 x 4.5#? (Not 4 x 5.4#) which is all I can find.
 
What properties are you looking for?
 
I am looking for the cross section dimensions. What is the 2005 SCM? I am a tooling engineer and have to make a base of this material that has to be weight accurate.
 
Steel Construction Manual (The Steel Manual).

d=4.00; tw=0.125; bf=1.58; tf=0.296
 
Sorry for not being more informative.
If you need a PDF of the page from the manual I could post but I am not sure if that is allowed.
 
By the way, there's an app for that. (must less expensive than buying the book for occasional use.) Search for "AISC" or "steel".
 
"and have to make a base of this material that has to be weight accurate."
I don't know how accurate you need to be, but there are rolling tolerances for these shapes.

Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance.
