How to read the W16x67 reference
The listed depth and width describe the overall envelope of the section. Web thickness applies to the central vertical element, while flange thickness describes the thickness of the projecting top and bottom elements. These dimensions are useful when checking drawing clearances, comparing shape proportions, and coordinating connections.
The root fillet radius identifies the curved transition between the web and flange. That transition matters when detailing plates, fittings, copes, and other components that bear against or pass near the rolled shape.
Section area and unit weight
Sectional area supports calculations involving steel quantity and section properties. The listed unit weight expresses the shape’s mass per unit length in the source units. For estimating, transportation, and detailing, confirm that the project uses the same unit system and that any conversion is applied consistently.
Using the DWG resource
The downloadable DWG can support drafting and coordination workflows. Treat CAD geometry as a reference for layout rather than a substitute for project-specific design documents, fabrication requirements, connection design, or verification of the governing steel specification.
The source identifies AISC 360-16 as the relevant AISC specification context. Always confirm the project requirements, material designation, detailing rules, and design checks with the responsible engineer.
W16x67 frequently asked questions
What does W16x67 mean?
It is the designation for a wide-flange, or W, steel shape. The designation identifies the shape series and its nominal weight designation; the detailed source listing provides the controlling dimensions and unit weight.
What do the W16x67 dimensions describe?
The dimensions describe the section’s overall depth and width, web and flange thicknesses, and the root transition radius. Together, they help users interpret the shape for drafting, comparison, and connection coordination.
Can the W16x67 DWG be used for fabrication?
The DWG is useful as a drafting and coordination reference. Fabrication should rely on approved project drawings, verified dimensions, applicable material requirements, and the engineer’s or fabricator’s documented instructions.
Does the listed unit weight replace structural design checks?
No. Unit weight helps with quantity and mass-per-length considerations, but it does not replace checks for strength, stability, serviceability, connections, or project-specific loading.
