Section Modulus is unique to each shape, it is a structural engineering function.

I've seen conduits trapezed on strut, but never piping. Does anyone know if the "section modulus" is a standardized measurement or value? If NFPA 13 publishes these values for "pre-engineered" trapeze materials like pipe and angle iron, can I easily derive the modulus value for other materials by applying a formula to the material's dimensions or the manufacturer's stated load bearing capacity?

You can't use slotted 1-5/8" strut for much of anything as I have seen some try to do on many different occasions. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bill Minkel Sent: Monday, July 23, 2007 8:12 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Section moduli of Unistrut Unistrut will not work for most trapeeze, section modulus is very low. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of G.
