28 AISC v16.0 records

# AISC American Standard structural tees (ST).

An ST is a structural tee produced from an American Standard S-shape. Its flange geometry and proportions differ from WT and MT series tees.

## Common context

Common project roles include truss components, lintels, specialty framing, reinforcement, and connections where the ST proportions are specifically useful.

## Detailing watch

Check tapered flange effects, stem orientation, connection surface, availability, and exact section properties before replacing or pairing it with another tee series.

## How to read the ST records

ST identifies a tee from the S series. The table's depth, flange width and centroid describe the tee; the simplified profile does not reproduce every rolled surface.

Check flange taper and the tee's own axis convention before using a reference export for layout or comparison.

This dataset contains 28 ST records, with nominal weights from 2.85 to 60.5 lb/ft and listed depth values from 1.5 to 12.3 in. These ranges describe the published records, not current supplier inventory or a selection recommendation.

Start with the exact designation, open its full record, then compare only the dimensions and properties relevant to your task. For example, [ST6X20.4](https://www.quantumsteeldesign.com/steel-tools/shapes/st6x20-4/) lists 20.4 lb/ft, 5.96 in² area, Ix = 18.9 in⁴ and Iy = 6.74 in⁴. The x and y labels retain the database axes; their values do not establish allowable loads.

The [AISC v16.0 workbook Readme](https://www.aisc.org/aisc/publications/steel-construction-manual/aisc-shapes-database-v160/) defines the variables and shape figures. This directory uses the US customary record; the comparison tool converts displayed units. Check the required edition and product specification before transferring data.

Worked quantity example

## Nominal weight for ST6X20.4

Assume 3 pieces, each 20 ft (6.096 m) long. This is a hypothetical quantity example, not a stock-length or lifting recommendation.

| Quantity | Calculation | Nominal pounds | Kilogram equivalent |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| One 20 ft piece | 20 ft × 20.4 lb/ft | 408 lb | 185.066 kg |
| 3 pieces | 3 × 408 lb | 1,224 lb | 555.197 kg |

Conversion: 1 lb = 0.45359237 kg; displayed results are rounded. This multiplication excludes connection plates, bolts, weld metal, coatings, cutting allowances and actual material variation.
