What does the Al stand for in weldments?

Brad Walker Oct 18, 2018 10:59 AM

This may seem like a dumb question, and I apologize if it is (I'm new to SW)

Is the "Al" abbreviation in weldment profiles aluminum?

I originally assumed that it was (so I wasn't using it for my steel structure), but I needed a 2"x2"x0.120" square tubing profile and that seems to be the only folder that I can find it in.

TIA

It's just the identifier that SW puts on its configured parts. Same thing with toolbox fasteners.

ANSI Inch
as compared to ANSI Metric, I believe, which is also downloadable.

Thus, it matches the name of the downloadable package label.
