Because the bending axis of the channel is not centered on the flange width, the channel is not as strong as I-beams or wide-flange beams. In addition, square-footed channels allow for simpler connections than slanted-footed channels.
UPN is the European standard inclined foot channel steel, which is most suitable for applications that require a strong steel frame, such as warehouses. UPE is European standard square foot channel steel, with smaller thickness and wider square foot, relatively lighter weight and cost advantage, it is a good substitute for UPN series.
Hot-rolled and cold-rolled channel steel has a range of excellent qualities that make it the standard fixture for many commercial and industrial applications. Steel advantages for channels include:
Excellent weldability
Good wear resistance
Enhanced processing capacity
Superior bending and forming
Application of channel steel:
Tracks and sliders for machines, doorways, etc.
Building structure, curtain wall engineering, mechanical equipment and vehicle manufacturing
Architectural frames and supports, industrial frames and supports
