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 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 80 | 45 | 6 | 8 | 2.981 | |
| 100 | 50 | 6 | 8.5 | 3.64 | |
| 120 | 55 | 7 | 9 | 4.463 | |
| 160 | 65 | 8 | 10.5 | 6.5 |
Figures follow the same geometric model as the calculator above; rounding and simplifications apply.
Method
How to calculate weight
Core model
A = h·tw + 2·bf·tf − 2·tw·tf (parallel-flange U outline)
m/L = ρ · AField names
Parallel-flange channel (U) outline: web strip plus two horizontal flanges, minus the two web–flange corner overlaps (same thickness on web and flanges). Multiply area × length × density for kg/m—useful for quick UPN-style checks.
Real rolled channels have tapered flanges and root radii; use mill tables when margins are tight.
