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 2L3-1/2X3-1/2X1/2 the computed area is better than 0.01% from published and Ix 0.14%. Where a value is also published, the published one above is the one to quote.
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Elastic modulus, Sx | 48,779 mm³ |
| Elastic modulus, Sy | 68,084 mm³ |
| Plastic modulus, Zx | 87,934 mm³ |
| Plastic modulus, Zy | 112,661 mm³ |
| Radius of gyration, rx | 26.9 mm |
| Radius of gyration, ry | 38.0 mm |
S is the elastic modulus and Z the plastic modulus, following AISC 360. Australian and British practice reverse the letters.
