Hot dip galvanized Z purlins or zed purlins are horizontal beams that are designed to form the roof and wall joists of a building shell structure. They sit between the roofing sheets and the building, acting as a support for the sheet to ensure it is firmly attached and safely in place. Z purlins are most commonly used in agricultural and industrial buildings due to their extremely versatile and lightweight properties which make them easily adapted for use in a variety of different sized buildings. The purlin is the supporting structure of the steel structure roof and wall retaining system, and it is subjected to constant load and live load (wind load, snow load, etc.). The calculation of the purlin is an important part of the whole structure calculation. Its specifications, materials, anti-corrosion durability and installation determine the safety of the structure and affect the actual bearing capacity of the purlin system. The flatness of the purlin determines the flatness of the cladding system, especially the wall, and determines the aesthetic effect of the wall.
