ST6×25 tee (cut from a standard beam)
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.
ST6×25 measures 6 in. deep with a 5 1/2 in. flange, on a 11/16 in. web and 11/16 in. flanges.
At 25 lb per foot it is the heaviest of the 4 ST6 sizes, which run from 15.9 to 25 lb/ft.
For strong-axis bending its section modulus is Sx = 6.04 in³ and its moment of inertia Ix = 25.1 in⁴, with a plastic modulus Zx = 11 in³.
