Steel Channel Weight Calculator
Channel in Steel: use the calculator for an instant mass estimate.
Steel Channel: tons to meters
Use “Calculate length (meters per ton)” to solve stock length from total mass while keeping the same section model and grade density.

Reference information
Commonly cited families (verify edition on your certificate):
- EN 10365 UPN
- ASTM A6
- GOST 8240
U-channels are listed in EN 10365 (UPN), ASTM A6 (C/MC-shapes), and GOST 8240. Tapered flanges and fillets differ between mills; verify against the producer’s rolling schedule for tender quantities.
Weight table
Reference: weight per 1 meter (kg/m)
Illustrative values for common sizes of Channel at the density you selected. For procurement, always verify against mill certificates.
| Height (mm) | Flange width (mm) | Web (mm) | Flange t (mm) | kg/m | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 160 | 82 | 5 | 7.4 | 15.226 | |
| 200 | 100 | 6 | 8.5 | 21.39 | |
| 240 | 120 | 6 | 9.8 | 29.19 |
Figures follow the same geometric model as the calculator above; rounding and simplifications apply.
Method
How to calculate weight
Core model
Same section engine as symmetric I-beam (approximation for UPN mass/m).Field names
Channel (U-section) estimates here follow the same symmetric I-beam volume engine as a stand-in for quick SEO-friendly mass checks (channel weight per meter, UPN kg/m). Replace with CAD or handbook values for tender work.
Always cross-check flange slope and fillets on rolled channels when margins are tight.
