Understanding the PFC 300x100x46 profile
A parallel flange channel has a web connecting two flanges whose inner and outer faces are arranged for practical detailing. The web and flanges provide the basic geometry used when positioning the section, preparing connections, and coordinating steelwork drawings.
The profile is identified by its nominal depth, width, and mass designation. The detailed source data also reports the web thickness, flange thickness, root fillet radius, sectional area, and unit weight. These values should be read together because each serves a different purpose: geometry supports drafting and fit-up, sectional area supports material and section-property references, and unit weight supports quantity and handling estimates.
Dimensions and detailing considerations
The listed root fillet radius is important when a connected plate, bolt arrangement, weld detail, or adjacent component approaches the inside corner of the channel. The fillet should not be treated as a sharp internal corner when preparing fabrication or connection details.
For a convenient digital reference, download the PFC 300x100x46 DWG file provided on this page. You can also compare this section with other parallel flange channels, review steel section terminology, or consult related connection detailing guidance when developing drawings.
Using the listed section data
- Use the dimensional data to coordinate member placement and clearances.
- Use the sectional area when reviewing material schedules or consulting design calculations.
- Use the unit weight for preliminary takeoffs and handling discussions, subject to project verification.
- Use the EN 10365:2017 reference to maintain consistent profile identification when communicating with suppliers or fabricators.
Frequently asked questions
What is a PFC 300x100x46?
It is a parallel flange channel profile listed with a depth of 300 mm, a width of 100 mm, and the source dimensions 300x100x9x16.5.
What standard is referenced for this channel?
The source references EN 10365:2017, which covers dimensional and related section information for hot-rolled steel channels and other structural shapes.
What does the root fillet radius mean?
The root fillet radius describes the curved transition between the channel web and flange. It is relevant when checking clearances and preparing connection or fabrication details.
Is the PFC 300x100x46 suitable for a specific structural application?
Not automatically. Selection depends on the design actions, restraint, connection arrangement, material specification, fabrication requirements, and applicable project rules. A qualified engineer must verify the proposed use.
Is a CAD file available?
Yes. The page includes a DWG download for the PFC 300x100x46 profile, which can support drafting and coordination work.
