These ratios are standard engineering practice and, where applicable, are usually given by the Professional of Record or the Project Specifications.
Loads under the column headings of 'Span/180', Span/240', and Span/360' are provided for installations in which deflection (sag) of the loaded Unistrut channel must be limited. For the more familiar uniform load (w) in pounds per foot or pounds per inch, divide the table load by the span. Loads in the Beam Load Tables for Unistrut metal framing channel are given as a total uniform load (W) in pounds. If you need a refresher course on utilizing Unistrut Beam Load tables, we have just the post for you. Although there is much truth in this statement, folks sometimes worry about the strength of their mission-critical structures, prompting questions about the load tables found in the Unistrut General Engineering Catalog. Our system is so flexible that we commonly hear the phrase 'If you can imagine a project, you can build it with Unistrut'. Unistrut is a complete system of channel, fittings, and hardware used to make a myriad of structures.
