ST5X12.7

Structural Tee (from S) · AISC Shapes Database v15.0 · United States

ST5X12.7 is a structural tee cut from an S-shape 127.0 mm deep with a 118.4 mm wide flange, weighing 18.9 kg/m. The dimensions below are the published AISC Shapes Database v15.0 values; the drawing is generated from them.

ST tees are cut from S-shapes and inherit the parent’s tapered flange, which the drawing here reproduces.

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 ST5X12.7 the computed area is 0.80% from published and Ix 0.42%. Where a value is also published, the published one above is the one to quote.

S is the elastic modulus and Z the plastic modulus, following AISC 360. Australian and British practice reverse the letters.
