All the channels are hot rolled for their high strength. As a trusted manufacturer and supplier, we also offer cut to size options to meet your specific requirements. For custom requirements apart from the standard size, please contact us. Weight per metre for every published channel section, tapered and parallel, is calculated in the [stainless steel channel guide](https://www.laxconsteels.com/stainless-steel-channel-a-comprehensive-guide-on-types-applications-and-key-considerations/). ![Stainless steel channels produced by Laxcon Steels](https://www.laxconsteels.com/images/products/stainless-steel-channels.webp) ## SS Channels Supply Conditions | Property | Value | | --- | --- | | Length | Up to 6.4 metres | | Supply condition | Hot rolled, Annealed & Pickled (HRAP) | | Tolerance | EN 10279 | | Bars End Finish | Deburred ends or plain ends | - Inkjet printing as per grade & size - Weight per metre for every listed size: [metal weight calculator](https://www.laxconsteels.com/weight-calculator/) ## Size Range | SECTION SIZE (MM) | SECTION SIZE (IN) | | --- | --- | | TAPER SIZE | TAPER SIZE | | 101.6 × 40.23 × 4.76 × 7.52 | 4" × 1-3/5" × 3/16" × 2/7" | | 100 × 50 × 6 × 8.5 | | | 50 × 25 × 3 × 3.3 | | | 50 × 25 × 5 × 6 | | | 50 × 38 × 5 × 7 | | | 65 × 42 × 5.5 × 7.5 | | | NON-TAPER SIZE | NON-TAPER SIZE | | 100 × 50 × 5 × 5 | | | 100 × 50 × 6 × 6 | | | 101.6 × 44.45 × 6.35 | 4" × 1-3/4" × 1/4" | | 101.6 × 50.8 × 6.35 | 4" × 2" × 1/4" | | 80 × 40 × 6 × 6 | | | 80 × 40 × 5 × 5 | | | 75 × 40 × 6 × 6 | | | 75 × 40 × 5 × 5 | | | 50 × 25 × 5 × 5 | | ## Governing standards | Property | Value | | --- | --- | | EN 10088-3 | Stainless steels: technical delivery conditions for semi-finished products, bars, rods, wire, sections and bright products for general purposes.

The size table lists both, from 50 x 25 mm to 101.6 x 50.8 mm (4 x 2 inch), with the web and flange thicknesses that are rolled. Both are supplied hot rolled, annealed and pickled, to EN 10279 tolerances on shape, dimension and mass. Weight per metre for each published section, and the difference between a C channel and a U channel, are set out in the [stainless steel channel guide](https://www.laxconsteels.com/stainless-steel-channel-a-comprehensive-guide-on-types-applications-and-key-considerations/). ## Channel against angle A channel is a beam: the web carries the shear and the two flanges the bending, so it is the section for a rail, a sill, a stair stringer or a support that spans between fixings. An [angle](https://www.laxconsteels.com/products/hrap-equal-angles/) is a stiffener and a connector: it carries less bending for its weight but fixes to a face on either leg. Where a frame needs a member that both spans and bolts, the channel takes the span and angles make the connections. Both sections come from the same section mill, in the same grades, to the same HRAP condition. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Which stainless steel C channel and U channel sizes are published?
