Specification

LYSAGHT TRIMWALL® is manufactured from ZINCALUME® steel complying with AS1397-G550-AZ150 (550MPa minimum yield strength, 150g/m² minimum coating mass as determined by the prescribed triple spot test).

The COLORBOND® steel used in the manufacture of LYSAGHT TRIMWALL® complies with AS/NZS 2728-1997.

Colour Range

LYSAGHT® products are normally available in the standard range of COLORBOND® steel colours. View the standard colour range for:

Spanning Tables

The maximum recommended support spacings are based on testing in accordance with AS1562.1-1992 and AS4040.2-1992.

Wall spans consider resistance to wind pressure only.

The pressure considered is based on buildings up to 10 m high in Region B Terrain Category 3 conditions Ms=0.85, Mi=1.0, Mt=1.0 with the following assumptions made:

Walls:

Cpi=+0.20, Cpe=0.65, Kl=2.0 for single spans, Kl=1.5 for internal spans.

These spacings may vary by serviceability and strength limit states for particular projects.

Maximum Recommended Support Spacings (mm)
Type of Span	Thickness (mm)
	0.35
Walls Single Span End Span Internal Span Overhang	2100 2900 3000 150

• For walls: the data are based on pressures (see wind pressures table).
• Table data are based on supports of 1mm BMT.

Capacity & Load Tables

LYSAGHT TRIMWALL® offers the full benefits of the latest methods for modelling wind pressures.

The wind pressure capacity table is determined by full scale tests conducted at BlueScope Lysaght's NATA registered testing laboratory, using the direct pressure-testing rig.

Testing was conducted in accordance with AS 1562.1 - 1992, Design and Installation of Sheet Roof and Wall Cladding, and AS 4040.2 - 1992, Resistance to Wind Pressure for Non-cyclonic Regions **.

The pressure capacities for serviceability are based on a deflection limit of (span/120) + (maximum fastener pitch/30).

The pressure capacities for strength have been determined by testing the cladding to failure (ultimate capacity). These pressures are applicable when the cladding is fixed to a minimum of 1.0 mm, G550 steel. For material less than 1.0 mm thick Contact Us.
