The PFC 125x65x15 is a parallel flange channel reference for identifying a hot-rolled steel channel by its profile designation. This page brings together the supplied dimensional data, section information, standard reference, and CAD download in one place.
Use the source values below when checking drawings, comparing channel profiles, or coordinating steel detailing. For design work, confirm the required section properties, material specification, connection behavior, and governing project requirements with the applicable engineering documentation.
PFC 125x65x15
Parallel Flange Channels
refer to : EN 10365:2017
a European standard that defines the dimensions, tolerances, and sectional properties for hot-rolled steel channels, I-beams, and H-beams used in construction and engineering. It ensures uniformity and compatibility across European structural steel products.

How to read the PFC reference
The profile designation identifies the channel family and its nominal size description. The separate Dimension entry gives the profile dimensions in the order used by the source, while the individual entries identify depth, width, web thickness, flange thickness, and root fillet radius.
The root fillet is the curved transition between the web and flange. It is important when checking clearances, detailing attachments, interpreting section geometry, or comparing a catalog profile with a CAD representation. Do not treat the designation alone as a substitute for the complete dimensional listing.
Section data and practical use
The source also reports sectional area and unit weight. Sectional area is commonly used when reviewing material quantities and section-property references; unit weight supports estimating and handling checks. These values should be kept distinct from resistance, deflection, buckling, and connection design checks, which require the relevant project assumptions and engineering verification.
Standard and CAD reference
The page identifies EN 10365:2017 as the referenced European standard for the listed hot-rolled channel dimensions, tolerances, and sectional properties. Use the standard reference together with the site’s related resources on parallel flange channels, steel section properties, steel terminology, and connection and detailing concepts when developing a broader design or drafting reference.
A DWG download is provided with this profile entry. Before inserting it into production drawings, check units, layer conventions, insertion scale, drawing orientation, and the project CAD standard. The DWG is a drafting aid and should be checked against the listed source dimensions before fabrication or issue.
Frequently asked questions
What does PFC mean?
PFC means parallel flange channel. It describes a channel section with parallel flange faces, as distinguished from other channel profile families.
What information is listed for this PFC?
The source lists the profile dimension description, depth, width, web thickness, flange thickness, root fillet radius, sectional area, and unit weight. It also provides the EN 10365:2017 reference and a DWG download.
What is the root fillet radius used for?
The root fillet radius describes the curved internal transition between the web and flange. It can affect detailing clearances and how the section is represented in drawings or CAD models.
Can the DWG be used directly for fabrication?
The DWG can support drafting and coordination, but it should be checked against the source dimensions, project units, material requirements, and the responsible engineer’s or fabricator’s documentation before use.
Does the listed unit weight prove that the section is adequate?
No. Unit weight describes material mass per unit length. Adequacy also depends on the applicable design actions, restraints, material specification, limit states, and connection details.
