How to read the PFC 150x75x18 designation

The designation identifies a parallel flange channel profile by its nominal depth, width, and mass designation. The detailed dimension line provides the geometry needed for drafting and section identification, including depth, flange width, web thickness, and flange thickness.

What the listed dimensions describe

Depth and width describe the overall envelope of the channel. Web thickness refers to the central vertical element, while flange thickness describes the horizontal flanges. The root fillet radius represents the curved transition between the web and flange; this area matters when checking clearances, fitting connection components, or preparing accurate fabrication details.

Sectional area and unit weight

The listed sectional area is useful when reviewing section-property information and estimating material quantities. The unit weight supports mass calculations for handling, transport, preliminary material takeoffs, and coordination with connection or support details. These values should be read together with the profile geometry and the project specification.

Standard reference and CAD use

The source refers to EN 10365:2017, which provides a common dimensional and sectional-property reference for hot-rolled steel channels and related structural shapes. Use the downloadable DWG to support drafting workflows, then verify scale, layer conventions, units, and project-specific detailing requirements before issuing drawings.

Related steel-shape resources

This profile can be compared with other parallel flange channels, universal beams, universal columns, and angle sections when developing a section schedule or selecting a drafting reference. Related pages on channel orientation, steel section terminology, section properties, and structural steel connections can help explain how profile geometry is used without replacing project-specific engineering checks.
