C-shaped steel

Specification and type

C-shaped steel is divided into five specifications based on its height: 80, 100, 120, 140, and 160, with a length typically not exceeding 12 meters. Common specifications include C80×40×20×2.5, C100×50×20×2.5, etc. There are over twenty types of C-shaped steel, including galvanized C-shaped steel, hot-dip galvanized cable tray C-shaped steel, and glass slot C-shaped steel.

Application field

C-shaped steel is primarily utilized as purlins and wall beams in steel structure buildings, and can be assembled into lightweight roof trusses, brackets, and other architectural components. Additionally, it is also used in structural components such as columns, beams, and arms in mechanical and light industrial manufacturing.

advantage

Galvanized C-shaped steel boasts advantages such as durability, comprehensive protection, strong coating toughness, excellent reliability, time and labor saving, and low cost. Compared to traditional hot-rolled steel sections, cold-formed C-shaped steel has a 50%-60% increase in turning radius and a 0.5-3 times increase in sectional moment of inertia, resulting in a 30%-50% saving in steel material.
