U channels Technical and buying guide
Compare UE light channels and UPN channels by section height, flange width, web and flange thickness, and weight per metre.
Steel channels are open structural sections; exact series and dimensions determine the ordered section.
Specification and dimensions
Channels: exact section series and designation, overall height, flange width, web thickness, flange thickness and length. State whether the order is UPN, UPE or another specified series. A nominal height alone does not identify the section; angle-leg dimensions do not apply.
Grades and applicable standards
UPN dimensions: EN 10365 / DIN 1026-1; tolerances: EN 10279. The UE light-channel data below refer to the taper-flange series in GOST 8240-97; UE is distinct from UPE. UE reference dimensions and tolerances follow GOST 8240-97; specify EN 10279 separately if required by the order. Confirm the applicable dimensional and tolerance standards in the supply specification. Material enquiries may specify S235JR, S275JR or S355J2 to EN 10025-2, or an agreed grade under the specified material standard. If ISIRI 4477-1 is required, state it explicitly and request matching inspection documents. This list does not declare simultaneous certification or current stock.
Applications and project requirements
Channels are used in frames, supports and fabrication. Orientation, connection details and the specified series matter; a light or heavy label alone is insufficient to establish equivalence.
Inspection and traceability
Agree heat or batch identification, chemical analysis, applicable tests and dimensional checks before ordering. Specify inspection documents, acceptance criteria and any independent inspection requirements.
