PS520 – Crush Loads

This load table is based on a solid channel section. For concentrated load at center of span, divide uniform load by 2 and multiply corresponding deflection by 0.8. Loads include weight of channel, which must be deducted. Loads must be multiplied by the applicable unbraced factor from page 42. For Pierced Channels, reduce beam load values as follows: PS-520-EH 15% PS-520-H 10% PS-520-S 15% PS-520-WT 15%

3,400 Lbs.

8,400 Lbs.

7,300 Lbs.

Resistance to Slip – 1,500 lbs. per bolt when 1 ⁄ 2 " PS NS channel nuts are used. Pull Out Strength – 1,500 lbs. per bolt when 1 ⁄ 2 " PS NS channel nuts are used.
