Z Sections - Lipped (Equal Flange) Sections
Z sections, or lipped (equal flange) sections, are a type of hot rolled steel section that is characterized by its Z-shaped cross-section. The Z-shaped cross-section provides a high strength-to-weight ratio, making Z sections well-suited for a variety of structural applications.
Z sections are available in a wide range of sizes, with depths ranging from 50 mm to 300 mm and widths ranging from 50 mm to 200 mm. They are typically made from mild steel, but can also be made from other grades of steel, such as high-strength steel or stainless steel.
Z sections have a number of advantages over other structural members, including:
- Strength: Z sections are very strong and can withstand heavy loads.
- Lightweight: Z sections are relatively lightweight, making them easy to transport and handle.
- Corrosion resistance: Z sections are resistant to corrosion, making them suitable for use in outdoor applications.
- Versatility: Z sections are available in a wide variety of sizes and shapes, making them adaptable to different applications.
- Cost-effectiveness: Z sections are typically more cost-effective than other types of steel sections.
Z sections are used in a variety of applications, including:
- Beams: Z sections are commonly used as beams in buildings and bridges.
- Columns: Z sections can be used as columns in buildings and other structures.
- Purlins: Z sections can be used as purlins in roofs and other structures.
- Joists: Z sections can be used as joists in floors and other structures.
- Fencing: Z sections are often used for fencing, as they are strong and durable.
- Shipping containers: Z sections are used in the construction of shipping containers.
