MS Channel

In the context of steel, a channel refers to a type of structural steel section with a C-shaped cross-section. It is commonly used in construction and engineering applications to provide support and stability in various structural designs. Channels are primarily designed to bear loads in a perpendicular direction to the web (the flat portion) of the channel. Channels are available in different sizes and dimensions, allowing for versatility in their applications. They are often used in the construction of frames, platforms, beams, and supports. Channels can be made from various types of steel, such as carbon steel, stainless steel, or alloy steel, depending on the specific requirements of the project. The C-shaped design of channels provides them with excellent strength and stiffness, making them suitable for structural applications that require load-bearing capabilities. They are typically installed by securing them to other structural components, such as beams or columns, using welding, bolting, or other fastening methods.
