L 38x38x5
AISC — Angle Section
Angle sections (L shapes) are used for bracing, connections, lintels, and built-up members. Available in equal and unequal leg configurations.
The L 38x38x5 steel profile weighs 2.6 kg/m (1.76 lb/ft), has a depth of 38.1 mm (1.50 in), flange width 38.1 mm (1.50 in). Cross-sectional area: 342.7 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 4.61 cm⁴, Iy = 4.61 cm⁴.
