It contains span tables covering various primary and secondary beam spans with common design floor loadings.
Metal c channel span.
Steel c channel sizes.
Metl span is an industry leading manufacturer of insulated metal wall roof panels in architectural commercial industrial cold storage applications.
Here are my calculations.
Appendix c span tables c 1 introduction this appendix has been taken from the onesteelpublication design note no.
The standard method for specifying the dimensions of a american standard steel channels is like c 5 x 9.
I m trying to determine if a 3 steel a36 c channel 4 1 lbs ft can support a 1500 lb.
These structural steel channel sizes shown are very similar to how wide flange table works but are different from steel angle tables.
Steel c channel or structural steel channel varies in sizes from 3 to 15 inches deep see figure 34 below.

I used 8 x2 5 x16ga z purlins at 4 0 o c.
Channel spacing in o c.

Point load at the center of a 78 span.
So the z purlin used in my building is about double the size of your 4 c purlin and could only go around 17 feet in span.
It is intended that these tables will be used by engineers to assist in the preliminary design.
Channel spacing in o c.
Many different decorative pre coated metals are generally not recommended when more than 030 thickness is required unless larger than normal corner radii can be used.

On 1 4 1 2 hard aluminum aluminum c channel aluminum box channel thicknesses can reach up to 250 thick.
Which is a beam 5 inches deep with a weight 9 lb ft.
C channel box channel thicknesses vary from 003 thick up to 150 thick.
This is due to the realities of steel manufacturing which cannot create custom designs for every work order and because standardization of c channels makes steel based construction projects that much simpler.
