What is the kPa (or psf) of metal furring as a ceiling dead load?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on determining the dead load value for metal furring in a roof truss analysis, with the only known value being 0.12 kPa for wood furring. Participants suggest looking up furring channels and provide a catalog link for drywall finishing products. One user decides to use a design load of 13 psf for white marble metal furring. Additionally, there is an unrelated inquiry about the color differences between national white marble and natural black marble. The conversation highlights the challenges in finding specific load values for construction materials.

I'm working on my analysis of roof truss assignment and got stuck on the computation of dead loads having no value for metal furring load. I only have the value for wood furring which is 0.12 kPa. I've been searching in the internet but still I'm not able to find it. Thanks in advance.

Here is a catalog of various drywall finishing products:

You can also look up 'furring channels' for the metal furring products if the items in the catalog do not suit your purpose.

Thanks for the link!
I'll use 13psf for design load.
 
White marble metal furring

I would like to know what is the reason of national marble color whit and natural marble color black
thanks

Thread 'I need a concave mirror with a focal length length of 150 feet'
I need to cut down a 3 year old dead tree from top down so tree causes no damage with small pieces falling. I need a mirror with a focal length of 150 ft. 12" diameter to 36" diameter will work good but I can't think of any easy way to build it. Nothing like this for sale on Ebay. I have a 30" Fresnel lens that I use to burn stumps it works great. Tree service wants $2000.
Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...
