HST 350 Galvanised Steel C-Section Purlin

The HST 350 Purlin is a Revit structural family featuring a cold-formed galvanised steel C-section profile for roofing systems. This structural component consists of a cold-formed steel C-section member, commonly referred to as a purlin. The geometry features a distinct profile with stiffening lips, designed to provide high strength-to-weight ratios for secondary structural framing. The surface finish exhibits the characteristic mottled texture of hot-dip galvanised steel, indicating high corrosion resistance suitable for exposed or semi-exposed environments. Its precise, uniform cross-section allows for consistent structural performance across large-span roof assemblies. The profile is engineered to support loads efficiently while maintaining a lightweight profile, making it a standard solution for industrial and heavy-duty commercial shed construction.

The download is a 225 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

In Revit, this structural framing family is best utilised by loading it into the project environment and assigning it to structural framing categories. Users should apply the member along grid lines or structural references, utilising the profile's insertion point for alignment with rafters or portal frames. It supports standard Revit structural analysis parameters, allowing for accurate scheduling of lengths and material quantities. Ensure consistent visibility settings by managing the sub-category assignments within the project template to maintain clean structural documentation.
