The PFC 300x90x41 is a parallel flange channel reference for engineers, detailers, fabricators, and steel estimators working with structural steel sections. This page brings together the source dimensions, identifying section data, standard reference, and a downloadable DWG file.
Use the listed values as a section-identification reference, then verify material grade, design actions, connection requirements, fabrication tolerances, and project specifications before using the section in an engineered application.
PFC 300x90x41
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 dimension notation identifies the channel by its overall depth and flange width, followed by the web and flange thicknesses in the detailed dimension entry. Reading these values consistently helps distinguish this section from other parallel flange channels and supports accurate communication between design, detailing, and fabrication teams.
What the listed properties describe
Depth and width describe the overall envelope of the section. Web thickness and flange thickness identify the principal plate elements, while the root fillet radius describes the transition between the web and flange. These dimensions are useful when checking clearances, connection details, interfaces, and CAD geometry.
Sectional area is a geometric property of the steel profile, and unit weight supports material takeoff and handling estimates. Neither value alone establishes structural adequacy; design checks also depend on loading, restraint, material properties, connection behavior, and the governing design requirements.
Standard and drawing reference
The page cites EN 10365:2017 for the dimensional and sectional-property reference. Consult the project’s applicable specifications and procurement requirements when confirming product compliance. The downloadable PFC 300x90x41 DWG can support drafting and layout work, but the drawing should be checked against the project model and fabrication information before issue.

Frequently asked questions
What type of section is PFC 300x90x41?
It is a parallel flange channel, commonly abbreviated as PFC in structural steel references.
What does the dimension entry describe?
The detailed dimension entry identifies the section’s overall depth, flange width, web thickness, and flange thickness. These values help users confirm that the selected profile matches the intended drawing or specification.
Why is the root fillet radius important?
The root fillet is the curved transition between the web and flange. It affects the actual profile geometry and should be allowed for when checking fit-up, contact surfaces, clearances, and connection detailing.
Can the DWG file be used directly for fabrication?
The DWG is a reference resource for drafting and layout. Confirm its geometry, units, revision status, material requirements, and project-specific detailing before using it in fabrication documentation.
Does the listed unit weight prove that the section is suitable for a structure?
No. Unit weight supports estimating and material planning, but section selection requires project-specific engineering verification, including relevant strength, stability, serviceability, and connection checks.
