Product Description
The 180 x 75 x 20KG Parallel Flange Channel is a high-strength, hot-rolled structural steel section manufactured to BSEN10025-2 S355JR standards. Designed for horizontal load-bearing applications, it is a trusted choice across construction, civil engineering, and industrial projects that demand both structural reliability and efficiency.
With a section depth of 180mm and a flange width of 75mm, this parallel flange channel offers excellent load distribution properties, making it ideal for supporting floor joists, roof structures, and steel frameworks. The 20.3kg per metre weight ensures solid performance in both medium- and heavy-duty settings.
Made from S355JR steel, it provides improved yield strength and enhanced resistance to fatigue and impact. Its precise geometry ensures consistent installation and easy integration with other steel elements.
Typical Applications
- Structural steel frameworks
- Horizontal load-bearing beams
- Civil engineering and infrastructure projects
- Roof and floor support channels
- Commercial and industrial building structures
FAQ
What makes a 180 x 75 PFC suitable for load-bearing applications?
The 180 x 75 x 20KG parallel flange channel features a deep web and wide flange profile, which together provide high bending strength and load distribution. This makes it ideal for supporting floors, walls, or roof structures where horizontal forces must be efficiently managed.
How does S355JR grade enhance the performance of this steel channel?
S355JR is a non-alloy structural steel known for its high yield strength and good weldability. This means the channel can carry heavier loads compared to lower-grade steels while maintaining excellent structural integrity under stress and vibration.
Is this PFC compatible with standard fabrication and welding processes?
Yes, the S355JR grade allows for straightforward fabrication, including cutting, drilling, and welding using standard MIG/MAG or MMA methods. It integrates easily into custom structural designs, making it a practical option on site.
Can I use this PFC in exposed external environments?
While the steel itself is robust, it is advisable to apply a protective coating or galvanising treatment if the channel will be exposed to moisture, chemicals, or weathering to prevent corrosion and extend service life.
How much does a full 6m length of the 180 x 75 channel weigh?
A single metre weighs approximately 20.3kg, so a full 6-metre length totals around 121.8kg. This is useful for calculating structural loads and transportation logistics.
