The PFC 180x75x20 is a parallel flange channel reference for checking key dimensions, sectional data, and CAD availability. This page preserves the listed source values and adds practical context for engineers, detailers, and steel fabricators.
Use the dimensional information alongside the relevant steel shape dimensions and section properties references when comparing channel profiles. Any design application should be verified against the governing project requirements and engineering calculations.
PFC 180x75x20
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.

Understanding the PFC 180x75x20 listing
The designation identifies a parallel flange channel, while the detailed dimension line expands the profile description into depth, width, web thickness, and flange thickness. These dimensions describe the basic geometry used for detailing, comparison, and section identification.
Dimensions and section data
The page lists a depth of 180 mm, width of 75 mm, web thickness of 6 mm, flange thickness of 10.5 mm, and root fillet radius of 12 mm. The listed sectional area and unit weight provide useful reference data for material takeoff and preliminary comparison, but they do not replace project-specific checks for resistance, stability, connection behavior, or serviceability.
Why the standard reference matters
EN 10365:2017 is identified as the reference for the profile family. In practical use, a standard reference helps users coordinate nominal dimensions, tolerances, and sectional information when reviewing drawings, specifications, or procurement documents. See the site’s EN 10365 steel section guide and steel terminology reference for related explanations.
Using the DWG resource
The downloadable DWG can support drafting and coordination workflows involving this channel profile. Before using geometry in fabrication or construction documents, confirm the drawing scale, units, project conventions, and any required detailing around connections. Related CAD and DWG steel shape resources and connection detailing guidance can help with the next stage of review.
