The PFC 100x50x10 is a parallel flange channel reference for engineers, detailers, fabricators, and CAD users working with structural steel sections. This page brings together the section dimensions, identification data, and the related DWG resource while preserving the authoritative technical values in the source record.
Use the dimensional data when checking drawings, comparing section designations, or coordinating steelwork details. Section properties and connection design should be verified against the applicable project requirements and engineering calculations.

Understanding the PFC reference
A parallel flange channel is an open structural steel section with a web and two flanges. The source identifies this section by its nominal designation and also provides a more detailed dimension line: 100x50x5x8.5. Reading the detailed dimensions alongside the labels helps reduce ambiguity when transferring the section into drawings, schedules, or modeling software.

Standard and drafting use
The page refers to EN 10365:2017, which the source describes as covering dimensions, tolerances, and sectional properties for hot-rolled steel channels, I-beams, and H-beams. When using this reference in a project, confirm that the selected section, material specification, tolerances, and design assumptions match the governing project documentation.
The accompanying DWG file can support drafting and coordination workflows. Treat downloaded CAD geometry as a reference and check it against the listed section data before incorporating it into fabrication or construction documents.
