686 – IBR Profile

GENERAL INFORMATION

686 “IBR” is an angular trapezoidal fluted profile sheet. Its bold appearance makes it both attractive and practical. Since IBR was introduced to the South African market in 1958, it has become the most popular sheeting used in the construction of commercial and industrial buildings. IBR is an abbreviation for Inverted Box Rib. The number “686” signifies the sheets’ effective cover width.

  • The general shape and appearance of the trapezoidal flutes ensure that 686 “IBR” is totally acceptable for use as roof and wall cladding. The deep and broad flutes of the 686 “IBR” Type sheeting ensures excellent drainage characteristics, another characteristic that makes it an ideal sheet for roofing applications.
  • 686 “IBR” offers optimum strength to weight and is designed to provide the most advantageous load/span characteristics consistent with economy.
  • 686 “IBR” offer the end user the option of having strengthening ribs in the sheet which help to remove oil canning from the broad flute.
  • 686 “IBR” can be factory cranked, curved and bullnosed to a wide range of radii (see Bullnosing). For further details contact our Technical Department.

A length variation range of ±5,0mm, and width tolerances of ±3,0 mm is permissible.

PURLIN SPACINGS

Purlin Spacings are dependent on both downward loading and negative suction loading caused by wind. Your engineer should be consulted to calculate your load (kn/m²) for your particular application. A broad guideline for Purlin Spacings is shown in the table below.

GAUGE MAXIMUM PURLIN MAXIMUM GIRT
Spacing for Roof Covering Spacing for Vertical Covering
Double Span Single Span Cantilever Cladding Cantilever

0,60 2,15 1,85 0,45 3,15 1,00
0,80 2,65 2,30 0,55 3,50 1,15

Double Span refers to a length of sheet being continuously supported over 3 or more purlins.
