C shaped Steel

In In China, the standards for C-shaped steel, as well as other structural steel sections, are established by the Chinese National Standards (GB) or the Chinese National Building Codes (GB/T). The most commonly used standard for C-shaped steel is GB/T 6725-2017.

GB/T 6725-2017, this standard applies to cold-formed cold-rolled, hot-rolled or coated (coated) steel plates and strips produced on continuous roller cold bending units.


In the United States, the standards for C-shaped steel, along with other structural steel sections, are governed by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). The most commonly used standard for C-shaped steel is ASTM A36/A36M.

ASTM A36/A36M is a specification that covers carbon structural steel shapes, including channels (C-shaped steel). This standard outlines the requirements for hot-rolled and cold-rolled carbon steel bars, plates, and other structural shapes used in general construction and engineering applications.

For C-shaped steel (channels), ASTM A36/A36M specifies the chemical composition, mechanical properties, and dimensional tolerances. The standard requires C-shaped steel to have a minimum yield strength of 36,000 psi (or 250 MPa) and a minimum tensile strength of 58,000-80,000 psi (or 400-550 MPa).

C-sections (channels) are classified as American Standard Channels (C-shapes) and Miscellaneous Channels (MC-shapes). The designation of C-shaped steel typically includes the dimensions of the legs (depth and width in inches) and the weight per foot (in pounds). For example, an American Standard Channel with the designation "C8x11.5" would have a depth of 8 inches, a flange width of 2.260 inches, and weigh 11.5 pounds per foot.

ASTM A36 is a widely used material specification for C-shaped steel and various other structural steel shapes due to its excellent weldability, machinability, and cost-effectiveness. It is one of the most commonly used standards for C-shaped steel in construction and general structural applications in the United States.

 

In the United Kingdom, the standards for C-shaped steel, along with other structural steel sections, are established by the British Standards Institution (BSI). The most commonly used standard for C-shaped steel is BS EN 10025-2:2004.

BS EN 10025-2:2004 is a European standard that specifies the technical delivery conditions for non-alloy structural steels, including hot-rolled C-shaped steel sections. This standard covers a wide range of steel grades and thicknesses suitable for various construction and engineering applications.

For C-shaped steel (channels), BS EN 10025-2:2004 specifies the chemical composition, mechanical properties, and dimensional tolerances. It covers both hot-rolled and normalized/normalized rolled structural steels.

C-sections (channels) are classified as "Parallel Flange Channels" or "PFCs." The designation of C-shaped steel under this standard typically includes the dimensions of the legs (depth and width in millimeters) and the mass per meter (in kilograms). For example, a Parallel Flange Channel with the designation "PFC 180 x 70 x 8.0" would have a depth of 180 mm, a flange width of 70 mm, and weigh 8.0 kg per meter.

 

In Japan, the standards for C-shaped steel, as well as other structural steel sections, are established by the Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS). The most commonly used standard for C-shaped steel is JIS G 3192.

JIS G 3192 specifies the dimensions, sectional properties, and technical requirements for hot-rolled steel sections, including C-shaped steel (channels). This standard covers a wide range of channel sizes and thicknesses suitable for various construction and engineering applications.

For C-shaped steel (channels), JIS G 3192 provides dimensional tolerances, allowing for variations in channel size within specified limits. The standard also defines the mechanical properties of the channel steel, including yield strength, tensile strength, and elongation, ensuring the quality and performance of the material.

C-sections (channels) are classified as "Channel Shapes" or "C-Channels" in Japan. The designation of C-shaped steel under this standard typically includes the dimensions of the legs (depth and width in millimeters) and the mass per meter (in kilograms). For example, a Channel Shape with the designation "C100x50x5x7" would have a depth of 100 mm, a flange width of 50 mm, a flange thickness of 5 mm, and a web thickness of 7 mm.
