Purlin Galvanized

A purlin is a horizontal structural member used in construction to support the roof or wall cladding. In the case of a "purlin Type C, Gauge 12," it refers to a specific type and thickness of purlin. Here is a description of each element:

Type C: Type C purlins have a distinctive C-shaped profile. They consist of two flanges (one on top and one on the bottom) connected by a curved section in the middle. This shape provides strength and stability to the purlin.

Gauge 12: The gauge measurement refers to the thickness of the purlin material. Gauge 12 means the purlin has a thickness of approximately 2.64 millimeters or 0.1046 inches. The higher the gauge number, the thinner the purlin.

Purlin Type C, Gauge 12, is commonly used in construction applications where a strong and durable support system is required. They are often installed parallel to each other across the roof or wall structure and act as secondary support for the roof or cladding materials. The specific dimensions, such as width and depth, may vary depending on the specific design requirements of the construction project.
