Ms Channel Specification

MS Channels (Mild Steel Channels) are hot-rolled structural steel sections with a distinctive C-shaped profile, commonly referred to as MS C Channels. These channels are widely used in construction, infrastructure, fabrication, and engineering industries due to their high strength, durability, and versatility.

  • Material: Mild Steel (IS 2062 Grade A / B / E250 / E350 or equivalent)
  • Shape: C-Shaped (U-Profile)
  • Sizes Available: Ranging from 75 x 40 mm to 200 x 75 mm
    (Depth x Flange Width)
  • Thickness: Typically between 4.8 mm to 9 mm
  • Length: Standard lengths of 5 to 12 meters (custom cut sizes also available)
  • Weight: Varies based on size (Refer to our MS C Channel Weight Chart for accurate data)
  • Finish: Hot rolled, black finish (can be galvanized or painted on request)

Mild Steel Channel Unit Weight

The unit weight of mild steel refers to the weight of the channel per unit length typically measured in kilograms per meter. This weight is used for structural calculations, cost estimations & material planning in construction & engineering projects.

To calculate the MS channel unit weight, the standard formula is:

Weight (kg/m) = Volume × Density of steel

Where:

  • Density of steel = 7850 kg/m³
  • Volume = Cross-sectional area × Length
    (Area is derived from the web height, flange width, and thickness of the channel)

Using accurate dimensions of the MS C channel, engineers and fabricators can easily compute the weight using this formula. Alternatively, using a reliable MS channel weight chart or weight calculator simplifies the process and ensures precision. At Lakshya Steel, we offer user-friendly tools and charts to help you find the unit weight of various MS channel sizes, making your project planning smooth and accurate.

Frequently Asked Questions About MS Channel Weight Chart

What is the weight of the MS channel?
The weight of an MS channel depends on its size and thickness. The weight is typically given in kilograms per meter (kg/m). For example, a 100x50mm MS channel with a thickness of 6mm weighs approximately 9.56 kg/m.
What is the weight of a 75x40mm channel?

A 75x40mm MS channel with a thickness of 5mm weighs approximately 5.70 kg/m.

What is the unit weight of the C channel?

The unit weight of a C channel is the weight per unit length, typically given in kilograms per meter (kg/m). The unit weight of a C channel depends on its size and thickness. For example, a 100x50mm C channel with a thickness of 6mm weighs approximately 9.56 kg/m.

How do you calculate MS channel weight in KG?

The weight of an MS channel can be calculated using the following formula:

 

weight = (web height × flange width × thickness) × density

 

where:

 

web height is the height of the web in millimeters (mm)

flange width is the width of the flange in millimeters (mm)

thickness is the thickness of the channel in millimeters (mm)

density is the density of steel, which is approximately 7850 kg/m3

For example, to calculate the weight of a 100x50mm MS channel with a thickness of 6mm, you would use the following formula:

 

weight = (100 mm × 50 mm × 6 mm) × 7850 kg/m3 = 9.56 kg/m

How do you calculate MS weight?

The weight of an MS channel can also be calculated by referring to a weight table. Weight tables are typically provided by steel manufacturers and distributors.

 

MS Channel 150 size

 

There are two standard sizes for MS channels with a web height of 150mm:

 

150x65mm

150x80mm

The weight of an MS channel 150x65mm with a thickness of 5mm is approximately 13.40 kg/m. The weight of an MS channel 150x80mm with a thickness of 6mm is approximately 17.90 kg/m.
