- 101.6 mm
Notes
- Aluminum Association standard I-beams are named depth x weight: 6 x 4.03 is a 6 in deep beam weighing 4.03 lb per foot. Flanges are parallel and constant thickness.
- Dimensions and the printed fillet radius R at the four web-flange corners are from the Engineers Edge table of standard aluminum I-beams (the page names no author; the sizes and areas agree with the Aluminum Association series). Flange tips are drawn square. Drawn area is within 5 % of the printed area on every size.
- Files are 4 in (101.6 mm) long along X, centred on y = 0, z = 0 on the bottom face. Designations round the printed weight to two decimals.
