refer to : AISC 16
the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) Specification for Structural Steel Buildings (AISC 360-16), which is the 2016 edition of the AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings. It provides guidelines and requirements for the design, fabrication, and erection of steel structures in the United States.

Width : 102.1 mm
Web Thickness : 6.3 mm
Flange Thickness : 10 mm
Root Fillet Radius : 7.6 mm
Sectional Area : 36.26 cm2
Unit Weight : 28.5 kg/m
How to use this W10x19 reference
The designation is a catalog identifier, while the listed dimensions describe the section’s overall geometry and principal elements. The depth and width help establish the envelope of the shape. Web thickness and flange thickness are useful when reviewing detailing space, connection interfaces, and drawing clearances. The root fillet radius identifies the transition between the web and flange and should be considered when modeling or dimensioning adjacent components.
The sectional area and unit weight serve different reference purposes. Sectional area describes the amount of steel in the cross-section, while unit weight supports material takeoff and coordination checks. Neither value alone establishes structural capacity. Design decisions require the applicable specification, material information, loading, stability conditions, connection behavior, and project-specific engineering verification.
Drafting and CAD coordination
The downloadable DWG can support layout and detailing workflows, but it should be checked against the dimensions presented on this page and the project’s drafting requirements before it is used in a deliverable. Confirm units, insertion scale, layer conventions, orientation, and any connection-specific modifications. A nominal shape drawing is not a substitute for engineered connection geometry or fabrication documents.
Reference context
The source identifies AISC 16 and the AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings as the governing reference context. Treat the dimensional data as section-reference information; consult the applicable project requirements and a qualified engineer for design, fabrication, and erection decisions.
Frequently asked questions
What is a W10x19?
W10x19 is the designation of a W-shaped structural steel section. The page’s source data identifies its geometry, sectional area, unit weight, and related drafting resource.
What do the web and flange thicknesses describe?
They describe the thickness of the web and flanges that make up the rolled section. These dimensions are important for reviewing detailing clearances and connection interfaces.
Can the listed sectional area be used to determine beam capacity?
No. Sectional area is one reference property, not a complete capacity check. Capacity depends on the design situation, material, loading, stability, connections, and applicable engineering requirements.
What is the DWG file used for?
The DWG provides a CAD reference for coordination and drafting. Verify its units, scale, geometry, and project-specific requirements before incorporating it into construction or fabrication documents.
What does the AISC 16 reference indicate?
It identifies the AISC specification reference associated with the source content, including requirements related to the design, fabrication, and erection of steel structures in the United States.
