Every Meyer Timber LVL section

All 21 Meyer Timber sections in the Calcs.com library, with the section properties and characteristic values used to design them.

These are section properties and characteristic values, not allowable spans. A span depends on your loads, member spacing, and deflection limit, so it has to be calculated.

Every section below is built into the calculator. Enter your span and loads to see whether the section passes, and by how much.

Frequently asked questions

What sizes does Meyer Timber LVL come in?
Calcs.com carries 21 Meyer Timber sections across meySPAN®. Depths run from 90 mm to 450 mm (90, 120, 140, 150, 190, 200, 240, 290, 300, 360, 400, 450 mm), in breadths of 45, 63, 75 mm. Every one of those sections is selectable in the calculators listed on this page.
Is there a span table for Meyer Timber LVL?
This page publishes section properties and characteristic values, not allowable spans. A span is not a property of the section: it depends on the loads you apply, the member spacing, and the deflection limit you design to, so the same section spans different distances on different jobs. Rather than reading a span off a generic table, select the Meyer Timber section in a Calcs.com calculator and enter your actual loads. The calculator checks bending, shear, bearing, and deflection and reports the governing limit.
What are the characteristic values for Meyer Timber meySPAN®?
meySPAN® is published with characteristic shear strength 4.6 MPa, compression parallel to grain 42 MPa and approximate density 620 kg/m3. Characteristic bending strength varies with depth, from 39.3 MPa to 50 MPa across the sizes in the table above. It is strength group SD6 and joint group JD3 (bolts), JD4 (nails and screws). Values are taken from Meyer Timber meySpan13 and Meyer Timber meySpan14, so check them against the manufacturer's current design guide before you rely on them.
Does Calcs.com support Meyer Timber products?
Yes. 21 Meyer Timber sections are built into the section library, so you select them from a dropdown rather than entering properties by hand. They are available in 8 calculators, listed on this page.
