The STG is an innovative web based calculation tool that can be accessed anywhere. The STG is the only online structural steel translation guide available in Australasia.

It allows designers to undertake a performance comparison of cold formed hollow sections to hot rolled open sections with just the click of a mouse.


It removes the need to consult lengthy guides and carry out complex physical calculations. The STG was created because Orrcon Steel recognised the need for a resource that would enable cost-effective design solution outcomes for engineers, architects and builders.

The software comprises the following sections:

  • Materials and Sections
  • Methods
  • Bending
  • Deflection
  • Compression
  • Tension
  • Combined Actions, and
  • Connections

The comparisons can be in bending, deflection, compression and tension. In fact, the STG is the only resource that shows deflection comparisons in the most simplest of form.
