Channels 250 x 90 x 9 metres Mild Steel PFC 35.5KG/MTR
Premium Mild Steel Channel for Construction Projects in Sydney, NSW
In Sydney's advanced construction sector, structural integrity and engineering precision are essential for project success. The Channels 250 x 90 x 9 metres Mild Steel PFC (Parallel Flange Channel) at 35.5KG/MTR represents a high-capacity structural solution that delivers exceptional performance for the most demanding applications throughout New South Wales.
Technical Specifications
This heavy-duty mild steel channel features substantial dimensions with a 250mm height and 90mm flange width, providing impressive load-bearing capacity at 35.5 kilograms per metre. The extended 9-metre length offers significant advantages for spanning major distances in critical structural applications while minimizing intermediate supports.
Manufactured in accordance with Australian Standard AS/NZS 3679.1, this PFC ensures consistent performance with a minimum yield strength of 300 MPa and tensile strength between 430-510 MPa. The parallel flange configuration provides optimal stress distribution and simplified connection details for complex structural systems.
Applications in Sydney's Construction Industry
Commercial Building Applications
Sydney's commercial construction sector utilizes these substantial channels for primary framing in larger structures, major transfer beams supporting multiple floor levels, critical structural elements in multi-story buildings, and essential components in commercial facilities requiring maximum clear spans and structural integrity.
Industrial Construction
Throughout NSW's industrial facilities, these channels serve as primary structural members in large manufacturing buildings, substantial crane runway beams for heavy lifting operations, major support structures for industrial equipment, and essential components in facilities where significant loads and vibration resistance are required.
Infrastructure Projects
In Sydney's infrastructure development, these channels excel in bridge construction components, substantial support structures for transportation facilities, major structural elements in public buildings, and critical components in infrastructure projects where structural performance is paramount.
Engineering Considerations
The section properties of the 250 x 90 PFC channel provide exceptional moment of inertia and section modulus, enabling superior load-bearing capacity and excellent deflection control. Sydney engineers specify these channels for critical applications where structural performance cannot be compromised and where larger spans or substantial loads must be accommodated.
Connection details require comprehensive engineering analysis, typically employing substantial bolted connections with high-strength bolts or fully welded joints designed to develop the full capacity of the section. Sydney's construction standards require detailed structural analysis and connection design for these major structural elements.
Installation Best Practices
The substantial weight and extended length necessitate mechanical handling equipment, specialized transportation planning, and professional installation procedures. Sydney's coastal environment requires comprehensive corrosion protection, typically through hot-dip galvanizing or engineered coating systems depending on exposure conditions.
Building Supply Advantages for NSW Projects
As a premium building supply in Sydney's construction market, these substantial mild steel channels offer several advantages:
- Superior load capacity for critical structural applications
- Reduced structural complexity through fewer supporting elements
- Compatibility with engineered connection systems
- Availability through specialized steel suppliers throughout NSW
For construction professionals addressing significant structural challenges across Sydney and NSW, the 250 x 90 x 9 metres Mild Steel PFC at 35.5KG/MTR delivers the optimal combination of strength, performance, and engineering excellence.
