L 38x38x6
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 38x38x6 steel profile weighs 3.4 kg/m (2.27 lb/ft), has a depth of 38.1 mm (1.50 in), flange width 38.1 mm (1.50 in). Cross-sectional area: 446.7 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 5.8 cm⁴, Iy = 5.8 cm⁴.
