Product Specifications
Product Description
The 180 x 90 x 26KG Parallel Flange Channel is a reliable, medium-weight structural steel profile designed for use in a wide range of load-bearing and framing applications. Produced from S355JR grade steel in accordance with BS EN 10025-2, this section offers increased strength over S275 alternatives—making it a strong choice for projects requiring additional structural capacity without a major increase in weight.
Measuring 180mm deep by 90mm wide, with a unit weight of 26kg per metre, this parallel flange channel 180 x 90 is commonly used in secondary framing, support beams, floor edges, equipment supports, and general fabrication. The parallel flange design offers uniform thickness and consistent geometry, which helps reduce fabrication time and simplifies alignment when used in bolted or welded assemblies.
Thanks to its structural strength and clean lines, this channel is equally suitable for exposed architectural use and concealed structural roles. It is compatible with most fabrication methods and can be cut to length, drilled, or coated on request.
The 180 x 90 x 26KG Parallel Flange Channel is typically used in:
- Secondary steel framing
- Support beams and column ties
- Structural bracing
- Machinery and equipment skids
- Lift shaft reinforcement
- Edge protection for precast floors
- Walkways, platforms, and gantries
- Balustrade and railing support channels
- General fabrication in workshops and industrial plants
FAQ
Is the 180 x 90 x 26KG Parallel Flange Channel suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, though for outdoor applications, it should be treated with a protective finish such as hot-dip galvanising or industrial paint to prevent corrosion. Untreated S355JR steel will begin to rust when exposed to moisture.
How does S355JR grade steel compare to S275JR?
S355JR offers higher yield strength than S275JR, making it more suitable for applications where greater load resistance or structural stiffness is required. It also allows for lighter sections to be used without compromising performance.
Can this channel be used with cast-in concrete anchors or fixing brackets?
Yes. The flat outer flange surface is ideal for fixing to concrete structures or steel frames using through-bolts, anchor plates, or welded cleats. It?s often used as part of edge detail in slab systems or mechanical bases.
What is the flange and web thickness of this profile?
For the 180 x 90 x 26KG PFC, the flange is typically around 17mm thick and the web approximately 10mm, though these may vary slightly depending on the rolling mill. Please request a section drawing for detailed dimensions.
Is the 180 x 90 PFC pre-galvanised?
No, this profile is supplied as standard in untreated S355JR steel. If you need it galvanised or primed, we can arrange that prior to dispatch.
.Do you offer cutting or drilling services for this channel?
Yes, BM Steel offers in-house cutting, drilling, and fabrication services. Whether you need cut-to-length sections, drilled flanges, or full pre-assembly, we can support your requirements.
