The PFC 430x100x64 is a parallel flange channel reference for engineers, detailers, fabricators, and CAD users working with structural steel sections. This page brings together the profile dimensions, section data, standard reference, and downloadable drawing resource in one place.
Use the values below as a reference when checking drawings, comparing channel designations, or coordinating steelwork documentation. For design decisions, confirm material grade, loading, restraint, connection details, and applicable project requirements separately.

Understanding the PFC 430x100x64 designation
PFC means Parallel Flange Channel. Unlike a tapered-flange channel, its flange faces are arranged to provide a parallel-sided profile, which can simplify detailing, connection layout, and section identification. The designation identifies the channel reference used by the source data; the accompanying dimensions provide the information needed to interpret its cross-section.
How to read the section data
The listed depth and width describe the overall profile envelope. Web thickness describes the central vertical element, while flange thickness describes the horizontal flange material. The root fillet radius represents the curved transition between the web and flange, an important feature when preparing fabrication details or checking clearances.
Sectional area is used in section-property and mass calculations, while unit weight supports material takeoff and handling estimates. These values should be kept distinct from design resistance, buckling capacity, or connection capacity, which require additional engineering checks and project-specific assumptions.
Standard and CAD reference
The source identifies EN 10365:2017 as the dimensional and sectional-property reference for this channel family. Refer to the original entry for the reported dimensions and properties, then use the supplied DWG file when developing details or coordinating CAD geometry. Related SteelSTD resources on steel section properties, structural steel terminology, and CAD/DWG references can help with comparison and documentation workflows.
Practical checking notes
- Confirm that the selected channel designation matches the drawing callout and material schedule.
- Check orientation before applying section properties or preparing connection details.
- Do not infer structural adequacy from the profile name, area, or unit weight alone.
- Coordinate fabrication, corrosion protection, access, and connection requirements with the project engineer and applicable specifications.
Frequently asked questions
What does PFC mean?
PFC means Parallel Flange Channel, a channel section with parallel flange geometry.
What standard is referenced for this section?
The source references EN 10365:2017 for the channel dimensions, tolerances, and sectional properties listed on this page.
What information is provided for the PFC 430x100x64?
The entry provides the profile dimensions, root fillet radius, sectional area, unit weight, and a DWG download reference.
Can the listed data be used as a complete design check?
No. Section data is only part of a structural design assessment. Design checks also depend on loading, restraints, material, connections, stability, fabrication, and project requirements.
