Derived section properties
Integrated from a square-cornered outline — the fillet radii this family really has are not drawn, so the computed values differ slightly from published. For 2L12X12X1 the computed area is better than 0.01% from published and Ix 1.12%. Where a value is also published, the published one above is the one to quote.
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Elastic modulus, Sx | 1,209,602 mm³ |
| Elastic modulus, Sy | 1,583,172 mm³ |
| Plastic modulus, Zx | 2,178,797 mm³ |
| Plastic modulus, Zy | 2,539,995 mm³ |
| Radius of gyration, rx | 94.5 mm |
| Radius of gyration, ry | 127.5 mm |
S is the elastic modulus and Z the plastic modulus, following AISC 360. Australian and British practice reverse the letters.
