How do you read steel channel sizes?
C channels are designated by the letter C followed by the nominal depth in inches and the weight in pounds per foot. Thus C 7 × 12.25 designates an American Standard C Channel with a depth of 7 inches and a nominal weight of 12.25 pounds per foot.
What is the difference between C and MC section of steel?
Hot rolled MC channels have a “structural shape” meaning at least one dimension (excluding length) is greater than 3 inches. MC channels have smaller flange slope than “C” channels. Common applications include structural support, trailers, and other architectural uses.
What is MC Channel vs C-channel?
C channels have tapered flanges, meaning that the flanges’ inside surfaces aren’t parallel. MC channels have parallel flanges that are flat and not sloped, making them easier to assemble or bolt because no spacer washers are needed to create a flat bolt surface inside the “C”.
What is the length of steel sections?
Standard lengths vary from 6mtr up to 18.2mtr but are usually sold cut to length as required. Often known as C Section or U Section due to their shape, channels are described using width and height. e.g. 150 x 75 mm. We keep 6mtr standard lengths although varying lengths up to 18 metres are available.
