CISC Steel Section Properties Lookup
Look up the properties of CISC steel shapes, either by family or by searching any metric or imperial designation. Each section shows its full property table, whether it is produced in Canada, and the steel grades that apply to its family. Where the served table edition differs from SST 9.2, the changed values are listed.

Limitations and assumptions
- Search lists the first 50 matches.
- Section properties only. No member resistance checks.
These calculators are aids, not a substitute for engineering judgment. Check results independently and against the governing code edition before relying on them.
