Geometric Steels
Purlins are quite popular these days and are available in different shapes and sizes in the market. Commonly it looks similar to the English alphabets and some of the most commonly used purlins consist of Z and C Purlins. The major reason for its popularity is, with the use of the purlin roof for industrial building roof can be given different shapes as per design.
The C and Z purlin is made of good quality steel in 245MPa and 345MPa such that it can bear the load of a building and remain firm and steady. These plates can also be called beams which provide support to rafters. These rafters form the basis of a wider building.
Installation of Purlins is quite an easy task. The best part of using a purlin is it is lightweight and its width, length and height can be customized according to the design. C and Z Purlin thus makes the roof a lot firm and solid as per the desire of users
Advantages of Using Geometric Steels Purlins
- Purlins are sturdy to endure a small size while also meeting all requirements. The total cost of manufacturing and assembly is lower, saving money on unnecessary expenses.
- Most purlin sheds are easily installed on the job site. Bolts and screws are used by C and Z Purlin to quickly join in the existing and new industrial infrastructure. It saves a lot of time and is simple to set up in all types of sheds. It reduces erection expenses, making it an excellent choice for instant usage.
- Purlins sheds are less expensive than other types of structures.
Use of C and Z purlin Shape difference
- The angles of Z purlin and C purlin are different. The C purlin is 90 degrees. Therefore, when using a screed on a certain slope, it is necessary to consider the angle of the purlin in combination with the knowledge of the rake, and the slope is large and the Z purlin can be used. Take full advantage of its bending performance.
- Compared with the Z section, the mechanical properties of the C-section and the Z-section are different, and the connection to the steel frame is mostly bolted. The calculation must be based on simple considerations. Therefore, from the aspects of stress state, structure and calculation results, the latter is more reasonable. Therefore, in addition to the needs of door and window openings and other special nodes, Z-sections should be preferred.
- When the roof slope is small, the modulus of flexural section of Z purlin is slightly larger than that of C purlin, but the difference is not significant. When the roof slope increases, the modulus of flexural section modulus of Z purlin symmetrically increases in the vertical direction. Big. Therefore, Z purlins are suitable for roofs with large slopes.
- For the wall, the choice of Z purlin or C purlin does not make much difference, if the Purlins want to make a continuous component, the best Z purlins, because of its convenient lap.
Based on the difference between C purlin and Z purlin, you should consider which situation is more suitable to use the C purlin or Z purlin.
