Parallel flange sections are the modern evolution of the classic tapered-flange shapes: the inner and outer faces of each flange are parallel, with constant thickness across the width. That geometry simplifies bolted connections — no tapered washers — speeds fabrication, and gives cleaner detailing throughout the frame.
Range
- Parallel flange beams in IPE and universal beam series
- Parallel flange channels (PFC) replacing tapered channel profiles
- Rolled to EN 10025 structural grades, with ASTM and IS equivalents available
Why specify parallel flange
Fabricators save shop hours on every connection because standard flat washers and end plates fit without machining. Designers get section properties tabulated in all major codes, and erectors get predictable fit-up on site. For export projects, parallel flange sections are the default expectation in European and Middle Eastern specifications.
How CSACI supplies them
We quote parallel flange beams and channels alongside the rest of your structural schedule — cut to length, primed if required, bundled and tagged, with certificates of conformity and origin plus SGS third-party inspection on every lift. Delivery to any major port with export documentation handled end to end.
