  1. Based on CFR-42 panel with 24 ga. exterior face (min Fy = 50 ksi) and 26 ga. interior face (min Fy = 33 ksi).
  2. Based on attachment with CFR panel clip with (3) 1/4"-14 Self-Drilling Tek 3 screws in min. 14 gage steel or (2) 1/4"-14 Self-Drilling Tek 3 screws in min. 12 gage steel. In lieu of self-drilling screws, self-tapping screws may be used.
  3. Allowable positive load is the lowest value of panel bending strength, shear strength & deflection limit.
  4. Allowable suction load is the lowest value of panel bending strength, shear strength, deflection limit and connection strength.
  5. Connection loads will increase with interior back fastening. Consult Metl-Span for loads and fastening patterns.
  6. The loads based on panel stress and deflection design criteria are derived from ASTM E-72 structural testing. The allowable loads are calculated with a factor of safety of 2.5 and 3.0 for bending and shear stresses, respectively, and deflection limitation of L/240.
  7. The panel and its connection strength was determined from ASTM E1592 testing, and the allowable loads are calculated with a factor of safety of 2.0.
  8. The clip fastener capacity was determined from manufacturer fastener pullout data, and the allowable loads are calculated with a factor of safety of 3.0.
  9. The structural capacity of the purlins are not considered and must be examined independently.
  10. Reference to multiple spans is based on conditions of 3 or more spans.
  11. For SI: 1 foot = 305 mm, 1 psf = 47.9 Pa, 1 inch = 25.4 mm.
