Channels 75 x 40 x 6 metres Mild Steel PFC 5.92KG/MTR
Premium Mild Steel Channel for Construction Projects in Sydney, NSW
In the competitive construction industry of Sydney and throughout New South Wales, selecting the right structural components is essential for project success. The Channels 75 x 40 x 6 metres Mild Steel PFC (Parallel Flange Channel) at 5.92KG/MTR represents an optimal balance of strength, versatility, and cost-effectiveness for building professionals.
Technical Specifications
This mild steel channel features precise dimensions engineered to Australian standards, with a 75mm height and 40mm flange width. The 6-metre length provides an ideal solution for common construction spans while the weight of 5.92 kilograms per metre ensures efficient material usage without compromising structural integrity.
Manufactured in accordance with AS/NZS 3679.1, this PFC delivers consistent performance with a minimum yield strength of 300 MPa and tensile strength between 430-510 MPa. The parallel flange design distinguishes this profile from traditional tapered channels, offering superior load distribution and simplified connection details.
Applications in Sydney's Construction Sector
Residential Construction
In Sydney's residential building projects, these mild steel channels excel as floor joists, lintels above openings, roof truss components, and balcony structural frameworks. The 6-metre length aligns perfectly with typical room spans in Sydney homes, while the moderate weight allows for efficient manual handling on site.
Commercial Building Applications
Sydney's commercial construction sector utilizes these channels for secondary framing, MEP support structures, ceiling suspension systems, and partition wall framing. Their technical properties make them ideal for applications where moderate loads must be supported while maintaining a slim profile, maximizing usable space in Sydney's premium commercial real estate.
Industrial Construction
Throughout NSW's industrial settings, these channels serve as conveyor supports, equipment mounting frames, mezzanine structures, and walkway frameworks. Their corrosion resistance when properly treated makes them suitable for Sydney's coastal industrial environments.
Engineering Considerations for Sydney Projects
When designing with these channels, Sydney engineers must consider their section properties, including a moment of inertia (x-x axis) of 67.5 cm? and section modulus (x-x) of 18.0 cm³. These properties enable precise calculation of load capacity and deflection for specific applications.
Connection details typically employ bolted connections through the web or flanges, welded joints for moment-resisting connections, or proprietary systems designed specifically for channel sections. Sydney's construction codes require connections designed with appropriate safety factors, typically 1.5 for static loads.
Installation Best Practices
Construction professionals in Sydney should implement precision cutting techniques, proper drilling procedures, and appropriate welding methods when working with these channels. In Sydney's coastal environment, comprehensive corrosion protection is essential, typically involving hot-dip galvanizing or multi-coat paint systems depending on exposure conditions.
Building Supply Advantages for NSW Projects
As a fundamental building supply in Sydney's construction market, these mild steel channels offer several advantages:
- Standardized dimensions facilitating integration with other structural components
- Readily available through established supply chains throughout NSW
- Compatible with both traditional construction methods and innovative building systems
- Cost-effective solution for numerous structural applications
- Proven performance record in Sydney's diverse construction environments
For construction professionals seeking reliable structural solutions for projects across Sydney and NSW, the 75 x 40 x 6 metres Mild Steel PFC at 5.92KG/MTR delivers the optimal combination of technical performance, versatility, and value.
