2L6×4×5/16LLBB double angle
Detailing dimensions and section properties from the AISC Shapes Database, 16th Edition. Values are shown to the nearest 1/16 in. as they appear on a shop drawing.
2L6×4×5/16LLBB has a 6 in. long leg and a 4 in. short leg, 5/16 in. thick, in contact back to back.
It is a double angle set with its long legs back-to-back.
At 20.6 lb per foot it is the lightest of the 48 2L6×4 sizes, which run from 20.6 to 54.4 lb/ft.
For strong-axis bending its section modulus is Sx = 5.54 in³ and its moment of inertia Ix = 22.8 in⁴, with a plastic modulus Zx = 9.92 in³.
