200 x 90 x 30KG Parallel Flange Channels - BSEN10025-2 S355JR

What are the advantages of using a parallel flange channel over a tapered one?

Parallel flange channels (PFCs) offer uniform flange widths, making them easier to bolt to other structural elements. This improves alignment and connection strength, which is particularly useful in large steel assemblies.

Is the 200 x 90 x 30KG channel suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, when appropriately coated or galvanised, the S355JR steel used in this channel performs well in outdoor environments. It?s widely used in exposed structural applications such as bridges, platforms, and marine builds.

Can the channel be welded or cut to size on-site?

Absolutely. The 200 x 90 parallel flange channel can be cut, drilled, and welded using standard mild steel processing tools. For best results, cutting and welding should be done using appropriate PPE and equipment in accordance with site safety standards.

What is the approximate length of a standard supplied unit?

Standard supply lengths are typically 7.5m or 8m, but custom cuts can often be arranged. Always confirm with your supplier when ordering if a specific length is required for your project.

Is this channel section appropriate for use in mezzanine floor structures?

Yes, the 30kg/m weight and S355JR strength rating make it well-suited to carry heavy live and dead loads found in mezzanine floors, particularly in warehouse and industrial settings.
