Description
🟦 Product Overview
BS / EN10365 PFC Channel Steel represents the British and European standard Parallel Flange Channel (PFC) section. PFC channels are widely used in the UK, Europe, Middle East, Africa, and global EPC projects requiring British‑standard structural steel.
Compared with tapered‑flange channels, PFC channels offer:
- Higher structural efficiency
- Better load distribution
- Improved compatibility with H‑beam and I‑beam systems
- Easier fabrication and welding
PFC channels are manufactured according to BS 4‑1 and EN 10365, and are available in structural steel grades such as S235JR, S275JR, and S355JR/J0/J2.
🟦 Applicable Standards
- BS 4‑1 – Structural steel sections
- EN 10365 – Hot rolled steel channels, I‑beams, and H‑beams
- EN 10025 – Hot rolled structural steel
- EN 10279 – Tolerances for hot rolled steel channels
🟦 Available Grades
- S235JR
- S275JR
- S355JR
- S355J0
- S355J2
These grades provide flexibility for general and high‑strength structural applications.
🟦 Section Type
PFC – Parallel Flange Channel
- Parallel flange geometry
- Higher structural efficiency than tapered‑flange channels
- Ideal for building structures, machinery frames, and industrial frameworks
- Designation example: PFC 200 × 75 × 23
