First of all, U-beam is a kind of steel material whose cross-section shape is similar to the English letter “U”. It is characterized by high pressure, so it is often used in automobile profile bracket purlin and other occasions that need to withstand greater pressure.
In the field of construction and engineering, Steel U Beam are also often used as purlins, support structures, etc. They can withstand a variety of forces, such as pressure. They can withstand a variety of forces, such as pressure, bending and shear, and have good structural performance and load-bearing capacity. In addition, U-beams can be freely combined to form various forms of building components, such as roof frames and brackets.
From the point of view of the production process, C beam and traditional channel steel compared to the same strength C-beam can save 30% of the material, this is a big advantage of C-beam, the reason is that the C-beam is processed by the hot rolled plate cold bending and become a thin-walled and lightweight, cross-section performance and its superiority, and the strength is very high.
In addition, we know that the u beam steel is hot-rolled production, the thickness is relatively large, but the C channel is cold rolled steel strip production (although there is also hot-rolled production), the thickness is very thin compared to the channel steel, but also from the point of view of their classification, there is also a big difference. General down to see the channel steel can be divided into: ordinary channel steel and lightweight channel steel. The specification of hot rolled ordinary channel steel is 5-40#. The specification of hot rolled variable channel steel supplied by agreement between the supply and demand sides is 6.5-30#. According to the shape of the channel steel can be divided into 4 kinds: cold-formed equal-edge channel steel, cold-formed unequal-edge channel steel, cold-formed inner rolled-edge channel steel, cold-formed outer rolled-edge channel steel. But C channel steel is divided into: galvanized C channel, hot-dip galvanized cable tray C channel, glass curtain wall C channel, unequal C channel, C steel rolled edge, roof (wall) purlin C steel, automotive profiles C steel and so on. In this way, it seems that the difference between C-channel and u beam is also obvious from the point of view of classification alone.
Finally, the easiest way to distinguish between u beam and c channel is their cross-section shape, C Channel Steel is the full name of the cold-formed internal rolled channel steel, from which we can know that C-channel cross-section is a rolled edge, while the u beam steel is a straight edge.
