Section Height
ZinTruss C purlins can be pre-punched holes in accordance with international standard. They are intended for use with 12mm diameter bolts.
Specification
ZinTruss C purlins are manufactured from High Tensile Galvanised Steel Z275 or Z220 coil in accordance with JIS G3302.
Corrosion Protection
A zinc coating of Z275 (275g/m2 minimum coating mass) is the standard coating class provided with ZinTruss C purlin.
This will provide a long and trouble-free life for enclosed buildings and open-sided rural buildings, in a non-aggressive environmet, recommended is 1000 meters from rough surf, 750 meters from industrial emission and fossil fuel combustion and 300 meters from calm salt waters.
Consideration must be given to the nature of activities performed within the building.
Compatibility
The zinc coating on purlins is fully compatible with the zinc and zinc/aluminium coatings used on roof and wall sheeting.
The galvanised coating used on the steel to manufacture ZinTruss C purlin is designed for internal use only. The coating should not be used in contact with chemically treated timber or other treated products in the presence of moisture.
Custom-Cut
Available custom-cut in any transportable length. For normal deliveries nominal length should not exceed 12 meters with special transportation and on-site handling facilities.
Lengths greater than 20 meters require a special transportatio permit from the loal authority. No custom-cut length for less than 1.5 meters available.
Section Properties
ZinTruss C purlins are manufactured in a number of strengths by referring to the following table:
Truss Configuratios
The terms below are typically used to describe the various parts of a metal plate connected steel truss. The truss profile, span, heel height, overall height, overhang and web configuratio depend on the specific design conditions and will vary by application.
Customisation
ZinTruss C purlis can be pre-punched holes in accordance with iteratioal standard. They are intended for use with 12mm diameter bolts.
Warranty
ZinTruss C purlins warrant the prime quality of their galvanised products, but cannot accept liability for damage to the material sustained during and after profiling, transport to or storage at the building site, and during erection.
Accessories
ZinTruss C purlins has a variety of accessories that are adaptable to all practical applications. Any combination of channel, locator end, lock end and bolted end can be supplied in pre-assembled form.
Workmanship
PACKAGING
ZinTruss C purlins are delivered in strapped bundles. The actual quantity in each bundle will vary with section size, order and length.
HANDLING AND STORAGE
Bundles of purlins should be neatly stacked off the ground and on slight slope so that water can drain away. If in the open, it should be protected with waterproof covers to prevent the entry of water and condensation. Such moisture cannot evaporate readily and can cause coating damage which can reduce the life of the product. If bundle becomes wet, the purlins should be separated, wiped dry and covered.
Other accessories should be treated similarly. Bolts and nuts in particular should be kept clean, dry and free of dirt or dust to prevent problems when tightening. Bundles of purlins must be lifted carefully to avoid damage. Long length should be lifted using a separator bar and fabric slings. Care should be taken seriously to prevent local damage at the lifting points.
NO WELDING
The welding of purlins is not recommended. The heat produced in wielding will affect the material properties of the High Tensile Galvanised Steel used by ZinTruss C purlins. In many instances considerable stress concentrations are likely to arise, even with good quality welding. In addition wielding will locally remove the galvanised coating leading to a potential reduction in durability.
