A C channel is a structural beam with a C-shaped cross section used in construction, manufacturing, and framing systems.
C channels are typically made from steel, aluminum, or stainless steel for strength, durability, and corrosion resistance.
Metric sizes vary in height, width, and thickness, commonly ranging from 40x20 mm to 300x90 mm.
Imperial sizes are listed in inches, such as 3” x 1.41” x 0.17”, indicating height, flange width, and web thickness.
Each size has a specific weight per meter or foot, affecting load capacity and installation logistics.
Larger channels with thicker webs support more weight and resist bending better under stress.
Used in building frames, wall studs, ceilings, and roofing systems due to their load-bearing ability.
Ideal for machine frames, conveyors, and structural supports in manufacturing plants.
Galvanized channels resist rust better and are preferred for outdoor or humid environments.
Choose based on load requirements, span length, environment, and material compatibility.
Manufacturers offer custom sizes, punch holes, and finishes based on project needs.
