W33x169 is a W-shape steel section reference with metric dimensions, sectional area, and unit weight listed from the site’s AISC 16 data. Use this page to identify the section, review its reported geometry, and access the associated DWG file for drafting workflows.
The dimensional data should be read together with the applicable project specifications, material requirements, connection details, and engineering checks. A shape designation and tabulated properties do not by themselves establish whether a member is appropriate for a particular design.

W33x169 section overview
The W33x169 entry describes a wide-flange structural steel shape. The source identifies the section by its overall depth and flange width, then gives web thickness, flange thickness, and root fillet radius. These dimensions help engineers and detailers understand the section’s general envelope and rolled shape geometry.
Reported section properties
The source lists sectional area and unit weight in metric units. Sectional area is commonly used when considering axial response, material quantity, and related calculations, while unit weight supports estimating and coordination tasks. Any design calculation should use the governing project criteria and the complete set of required section properties.

AISC 16 reference context
This page refers to the American Institute of Steel Construction Specification for Structural Steel Buildings, AISC 360-16. That specification provides requirements and guidance for the design, fabrication, and erection of steel structures in the United States. Confirm the edition and project-specific requirements before using a section entry for design or detailing.
DWG and detailing workflow
The available W33x169 DWG can support preliminary drafting, layout, and coordination work. Before issuing drawings, verify the CAD geometry against the authoritative section data and the project’s modeling, fabrication, and connection requirements. Related SteelSTD resources on W-shape dimensions, section properties, steel connections, and CAD/DWG references can provide useful background for the next stage of review.
Frequently asked questions
What is W33x169?
W33x169 is the designation used for this wide-flange structural steel section in the source data. The page provides its principal dimensions, sectional area, unit weight, and a DWG download.
What dimensions are listed for W33x169?
The entry lists depth, width, web thickness, flange thickness, and root fillet radius. All reported dimensions are presented in millimeters.
What section properties are provided?
The source provides sectional area and unit weight in addition to the listed geometric dimensions. Other properties may be required for a complete design check and should be obtained from the governing reference used by the project.
What does the AISC 16 reference mean?
It identifies the AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings, AISC 360-16, referenced here as the applicable structural steel specification context. Project teams should confirm the governing requirements for their work.
Is the W33x169 DWG ready for construction documents?
The DWG is a drafting and reference resource. It should be checked against project standards, the required section data, detailing conventions, and engineer-approved design information before use in issued documents.
