Application

Primarily used in the design of sheds, industrial and commercial buildings, and are typically used to support the roof and wall sheeting.

Description

Megaspan Purlins and Girts is a range of performance enhanced purlins manufactured from high tensile galvanised steel. These profiles have capacity improvements of more than 20% compared to the standard purlin. Some features of these purlins include:

  • Optimised profiles with improved capacities.
  • Maximised efficiencies.
  • Normally supplied with holes punched in.

Manufacturer guidance

Applicable to both C and Z sections. The first 3 digits indicate the depth of the section (i.e. 150 is 150 mm deep). The last two digits indicate the material thickness (i.e. 12 is 1.2 mm).


Tolerances of ±5 mm in overall length, ±1 mm in flange width, ±1 mm in depth and ±1.5 mm in hole centres.

Hole cutouts

-

Manufacturer guidance

Preferred method of dimensioning is hole centre to hole centre rather than referenced from one end. Overall purlin length is also required for dimensional checking.

Standard hole centres include:

  • 18 x 22 mm holes, 40 mm apart for 100 mm purlin.
  • 18 x 22 mm holes, 60 mm apart for 150 mm purlin (in Victoria, standard is 18 x 22 mm holes, 70 mm apart).
  • 18 x 22 mm holes, 110 mm apart for 200 mm purlin.
  • 18 x 22 mm holes, 160 mm apart for 250 mm purlin.
  • 22 mm round holes, 210 mm apart for 300 mm purlin.
  • 22 mm round holes, 260 mm apart for 350 mm purlin.
  • 22 mm round holes, 310 mm apart for 400 mm purlin.


Alternative hole sizes, shapes and centres are available upon request.
