Carbon Steel Channel
Product Overview
Carbon steel channel steel, also known as U-channel or C-channel, is a hot-rolled or cold-formed steel product with a characteristic "C" or "U" cross-section. It is widely used in construction, manufacturing, transportation, and infrastructure projects due to its excellent structural integrity, load-bearing capacity, and ease of fabrication. Our channels are manufactured from prime quality carbon steel conforming to international standards such as GB, ASTM, EN, and JIS.
Product Specifications (Global Standard & Flexible Options)
We provide carbon steel channels that meet international standards, with flexible specifications to adapt to your diverse project load-bearing needs.
Detailed parameters are shown in the table below:
| Parameter | Details (Buyer-Focused Advantages) |
| Channel Type | U-shaped carbon steel channel (standard type); suitable for various load-bearing and support scenarios, with strong load-carrying capacity and stable structure, reducing secondary processing costs |
| Global Standards & Grades | • China: Q235B, Q355B (high toughness, cost-effective, widely used in Asian projects) • US: A36, A572 Grade 50 (heavy-duty, compliant with American construction and machinery standards) • Europe: S235JR, S355JR (EN standard, meets EU project acceptance requirements) • Japan: SS400 (stable performance, suitable for precision machinery and infrastructure projects) |
| Size Range | • Height (H): 50mm ~ 400mm (covers small brackets to large engineering load-bearing structures) • Width (B): 37mm ~ 150mm • Thickness (t): 4.5mm ~ 16mm (customizable up to 20mm for special heavy-load requirements) |
| Length | Standard: 6m, 12m; Free custom cutting (3m, 9m, 10m, etc.) to avoid material waste and reduce your on-site processing costs |
| Surface Treatment | • Standard: Hot-rolled black surface (cost-effective, suitable for indoor and non-corrosive environments) • Optional: Hot-dip galvanized (enhanced anti-rust, durable for outdoor, coastal or humid environments); Primed (ready for on-site painting, saving your construction time and labor costs) |
| Quality Certification | ISO, CE, ASTM certificates available for all batches, ensuring compliance with global project standards and smooth customs clearance |
Standard Dimensions and Theoretical Weight Table
The following table lists commonly produced metric carbon steel channel sizes. All dimensions are in millimeters (mm).
The theoretical weight is calculated based on a steel density of 7.85 g/cm³ and is for reference only. Actual weight may vary within allowable tolerances.

Q: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for carbon steel channels, and do you offer bulk discounts?
A: The MOQ is flexible: 1 ton for standard sizes (suitable for small projects or sample orders) and 5 tons+ for custom specifications.
We offer tiered bulk discounts: 3-5% off for orders ≥10 tons, 8-12% off for ≥50 tons, and exclusive preferential prices for long-term cooperative buyers.
Q: What is the delivery time for standard and custom orders, and how do you ensure safe shipping?
A: Standard specifications (5000+ tons in stock) are delivered within 7-15 days after payment; custom orders take 20-30 days for production, with real-time logistics tracking.
We use professional sea-worthy packaging (wooden cases + steel strips) to prevent collision, scratches and rust during long-distance shipping.
