How is a structural channel specified?
It is identified by series, nominal depth and weight, together with length and grade when indicated in the drawing.
About Channels
Structural steel channels for frames, reinforcement, purlins and fabricated components. The technical table helps compare depth, weight, flange and thicknesses to identify the required section.
Frequently asked questions
Can channel replace a beam?
Not without analysis. Geometry and structural behaviour differ, so any substitution must be approved by the responsible engineer.
Can channels be supplied with cuts or holes?
Send the drawing and tolerances so the applicable processes can be reviewed before quoting.
