Channels are U-shaped sections with a flat web and two parallel flanges on one side. With one flat face, they excel where a section must sit flush against another surface — which is why channels appear everywhere from stair stringers to vehicle chassis.
Types and grades
- UPN / U-channels with tapered flanges to European practice
- Parallel flange channels (PFC) for simpler connections
- ISMC sections to Indian standards, widely used in project exports
- Structural carbon grades to EN, ASTM, IS and BS standards
Applications
Stair stringers and landings, purlins and girts in industrial buildings, equipment frames and skids, cable tray and pipe supports, trailer and wagon construction, and edge framing around floor openings. Channels back-to-back form built-up columns and lintels in renovation work.
