🛠 No. 8 channel - strong, lightweight steel for construction
No. 8 steel channel (80 mm web height) is one of the most popular types of hot-rolled structural sections. Its U-shaped cross-section withstands significant vertical and horizontal loads, providing high structural rigidity at a low overall weight of just 7.05 kg/m.
Our range includes both Ukrainian-produced sections in Ст3 steel and high-quality European UPE sections, which have a higher yield strength and precise geometry.
🏗️ Main applications:
- Frame construction: installation of load-bearing frames, support posts, and lightweight intermediate floors in civil and industrial construction.
- Building renovation: reinforcement of window and door openings. Channel No. 8 is often welded into a box section to strengthen load-bearing walls.
- Mechanical engineering: fabrication of welded machine bases and frames for cargo trailers, agricultural machinery, and lifting equipment.
- Auxiliary structures: installation of supports for heavy gates, ramps, canopies, and access ramps.
✅ Advantages of SteelStream products
We supply certified steel that complies with the current ДСТУ 3436-96. The complete weight table and tolerances are available in our Technical documentation.
- Accurate geometry and weight: one linear metre weighs 7.05 kg, with no compromise on web thickness (4.5 mm).
- High weldability: Ст3 (S235) steel can be welded using conventional arc welding without preheating.
- Range of profiles: parallel-flange (P) and tapered-flange (U) sections are available for different engineering requirements.
