DIN 1026-1:2009-09

Foreword
This standard has been prepared by Subcommittee 21/6 Warmgewalzte Profilerzeugnisse of the
Normenausschusses Eisen und Stahl (FES) (Iron and Steel Standards Committee).
DIN 1026 consists of the following parts under the general title Hot-rolled steel channels:

Part 1: Taper flange steel channels Dimensions, masses and sectional properties

Part 2: Parallel flange steel channels Dimensions, masses and sectional properties

Amendments
This standard differs from DIN 1026-1:2000-03 and DIN 1026-1 Corrigendum 1:2002:11 as follows:
a)

The standard has been editorially revised and normative references updated.

The following corrections have been made to DIN 1026-1:2009-04:

a)

Figure 1 has been corrected so that the dimension ey describes the distance of the outer edge of the
channel from its y-y axis.

Scope

This standard applies to hot-rolled steel channels with taper flanges with a height between 30 mm and
400 mm, made from steel grades as specified in clause 6.
The standard does not apply to steel channels with parallel flanges, which are covered by DIN 1026-2.

xM = distance of shear centre M from y-y axis.

sx = Ix:Sx = distance between compression and tension centres.

Sx = moment of first order of half cross section about the x axis.

I = moment of inertia, W = section modulus, i = radius of gyration, each in relation to the relevant bending axis

The values for cross-sectional areas, masses per unit length, surface areas and section properties have been calculated using the dimensions given in this table.
