The Two Types of Stainless Channel
Depending on your application and industry, there are two kinds of channel to choose from, U-Channel and C-Channel. Though there are no specific terms, generally the parts of stainless-steel channel are called ‘body’ and ‘legs’. A long body with short legs is a ‘c’ channel, while a short body with long legs is called a ‘u’ channel.
C-Channel: C-channel tends to have shorter legs and thinner bodies overall. This way it can resemble the ‘c’ shape that it is named after. C channel steel is available in:
• 304L
• 316L
Stainless C channel can withstand corrosive environments and is best used around chemicals, acids, and salt water. The material is available in laser fused non-tapered or Hot Rolled tapered.
U-Channel: The U channel is like a square. The best way to produce it is to make all of the portions symmetrical. The U-channel is extremely durable and very reliable. Material available in:
• 304L
• 316L
U channel is offered in laser fuse non-tapered with smooth bead blast finish. Stainless Shapes offers customer made to order U channel up to 40’ long. Contact Stainless Shapes today for more information!
