Angle · AISC Shapes Database v15.0 · United States
L6X4X3/4 is a single angle with 152 × 102 mm legs, 19.1 mm thick, weighing 35.1 kg/m. The dimensions below are the published AISC Shapes Database v15.0 values; the drawing is generated from them.
Single angles serve as braces, cleats and connection material. An angle bends about tilted principal axes, so the derived principal values below carry their angle.

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 L6X4X3/4 the computed area is 0.04% from published and Ix 0.04%. Where a value is also published, the published one above is the one to quote.

| Elastic modulus, Sx | 102,396 mm³ |
| Elastic modulus, Sy | 48,678 mm³ |
| Plastic modulus, Zx | 167,414 mm³ |
| Plastic modulus, Zy | 89,657 mm³ |
| Radius of gyration, rx | 47.7 mm |
| Radius of gyration, ry | 28.4 mm |
| Principal maximum, Imax (derived) | 11,680,970 mm⁴ |
| Principal minimum, Imin (derived) | 2,133,612 mm⁴ |
| Principal axis angle, θp | 23.2° |
S is the elastic modulus and Z the plastic modulus, following AISC 360. Australian and British practice reverse the letters.
