The PFC 260x75x28 is a parallel flange channel reference for identifying a hot-rolled structural steel section in drawings, specifications, and design documentation. This page brings together the section dimensions, nominal mass information, standard reference, and downloadable CAD file provided in the source data.
Use the dimensional information below when checking a section against a drawing or steel schedule. For design work, confirm the applicable material grade, loading, restraint, connection details, and governing design requirements separately; the section listing itself is not a substitute for engineering verification.
PFC 260x75x28
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.

Depth : 260 mm
Width : 75 mm
Web Thickness : 7 mm
Flange Thickness : 12 mm
Root Fillet Radius : 12 mm
Sectional Area : 35.1 cm2
Unit Weight : 27.6 kg/m
How to read this PFC reference
The designation identifies the section as a parallel flange channel. The source also provides a dimensional description of the profile, including its overall depth and width, web thickness, flange thickness, and root fillet radius. These dimensions are useful when checking clearances, detailing connected elements, and coordinating the channel with fabrication or architectural drawings.
The listed sectional area and unit weight describe the amount of steel represented by the section and its mass per unit length. They are useful for quantity takeoffs and preliminary coordination, while strength, stiffness, buckling resistance, and connection performance require the appropriate section properties and engineering checks.
Standard and drawing reference
The page cites EN 10365:2017 as the dimensional and sectional reference for the channel family. Treat the standard reference as part of the identification record, and verify project requirements for material certification, tolerances, fabrication, and design jurisdiction before ordering or specifying steel.
The downloadable DWG is intended to support drafting and model coordination. Check the CAD geometry against the listed dimensions before using it for fabrication details, connection design, or clash detection. Related SteelSTD resources may also be useful when comparing parallel flange channels with other structural steel shapes, reviewing section properties, or learning about steel connections and detailing.
Frequently asked questions
What is a PFC section?
PFC means parallel flange channel. It is a channel-shaped structural steel profile with flanges arranged parallel to one another, as identified by the source content.
What dimensions are listed for the PFC 260x75x28?
The source lists an overall depth of 260 mm, a width of 75 mm, a web thickness of 7 mm, a flange thickness of 12 mm, and a root fillet radius of 12 mm. The complete dimensional line should remain the controlling reference on this page.
What does EN 10365:2017 represent on this page?
It is the cited European reference for the dimensions, tolerances, and sectional information associated with hot-rolled channels and related structural steel sections.
Can the DWG file be used directly for fabrication?
The DWG supports drafting and coordination, but fabrication should be based on verified project drawings, approved specifications, and the applicable engineering and manufacturing requirements.
Is the unit weight sufficient for structural design?
The listed unit weight can support estimating and coordination. Structural design also requires the relevant material, loading, restraint, section-property, stability, and connection checks.
