Channel Steel

U&C Channel steel is a long strip of steel with a groove-shaped cross-section. Its specifications are expressed in millimeters of waist height (h) * leg width (b) * waist thickness (d), such as 120*60*5.5, which means that the channel steel with a waist height of 120 mm and a leg width of 60 mm has a waist thickness of 5.5 mm. mm channel steel, or UPE120 channel steel.

Channel steel has a wide range of uses and can be used in construction, machinery manufacturing, automobile manufacturing, shipbuilding and other fields. In the field of construction, channel steel is often used to make steel structure frames, support frames, beams and columns, etc. In the field of machinery manufacturing, channel steel is often used to make machine tool beds, tracks, conveyor belts, etc. In the field of automobile manufacturing, channel steel is often used to make frame, body and so on. In the field of shipbuilding, channel steel is often used to make hull frames, ship equipment, etc.

Mild steel channel is widely used in civil engineering and construction to support floor joists and to weight bear above window and door gaps where the structural load does not require an I beam.
