L7×4×5/8 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.

L7×4×5/8 has a 7 in. long leg and a 4 in. short leg, 5/8 in. thick.

At 22.1 lb per foot it is one of the 5 L7×4 sizes, which run from 13.6 to 26.2 lb/ft.

For strong-axis bending its section modulus is Sx = 7.12 in³ and its moment of inertia Ix = 32.4 in⁴, with a plastic modulus Zx = 12.5 in³.
