Structural Tee (from W) · AISC Shapes Database v15.0 · United States
WT6X53 is a structural tee cut from a W-shape 163.8 mm deep with a 309.9 mm wide flange, weighing 78.9 kg/m. The dimensions below are the published AISC Shapes Database v15.0 values; the drawing is generated from them.
WT tees are W-shapes split at mid-depth — common truss chords and hangers, tabulated for the cut section.

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 WT6X53 the computed area is 1.22% from published and Ix 0.29%. Where a value is also published, the published one above is the one to quote.
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Elastic modulus, Sx | 113,461 mm³ |
| Elastic modulus, Sy | 402,785 mm³ |
| Plastic modulus, Zx | 221,245 mm³ |
| Plastic modulus, Zy | 612,080 mm³ |
| Radius of gyration, rx | 39.0 mm |
| Radius of gyration, ry | 79.2 mm |
S is the elastic modulus and Z the plastic modulus, following AISC 360. Australian and British practice reverse the letters.
