L6×6×1 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.
L6×6×1 has equal 6 in. legs, 1 in. thick.
At 37.4 lb per foot it is the heaviest of the 9 L6×6 sizes, which run from 12.4 to 37.4 lb/ft.
For strong-axis bending its section modulus is Sx = 8.55 in³ and its moment of inertia Ix = 35.4 in⁴, with a plastic modulus Zx = 15.4 in³.
