Purlin:

The purlins are horizontal beams spanning between the two adjacent trusses. These are the structural members subjected to transverse loads and rest on the top chords of roof trusses. The purlins are meant to carry loads of the roofing material and to transfer it to the panel points. 

If the slope of roof truss is not greater than 30' and steel is conforming to grades Fe 410-0 or Fe 410-W, then, the angle purlins may be designed as an alternate to the general design procedure, as recommended by IS : 800-1984.
