Full Form: Mild Steel Channel

HSN Code: 7216 – Angles, shapes and sections of iron or non-alloy steel, hot-rolled, hot-drawn or extruded.

Also known as MS C Channel, MS U Channel, or simply C Channel MS, these are essential structural members widely used in construction, machinery, fabrication, and support frameworks.

Grades and Specifications

MS Channels are typically manufactured as per IS 2062:2011 (Grade A/B/C) or EN 10025 standards, ensuring mechanical strength and weldability.

Grade	Yield Strength	Tensile Strength	Elongation
IS 2062 E250	250 MPa	410 MPa	23%
IS 2062 E350	350 MPa	490 MPa	22%
IS 2062 E410	410 MPa	540 MPa	20%

Chemical Composition

Element	Percentage (%)
Carbon (C)	0.20 max
Manganese (Mn)	1.50 max
Sulphur (S)	0.045 max
Phosphorus (P)	0.045 max
Silicon (Si)	0.40 max

These controlled elements ensure excellent weldability, bending, and machinability, making MS Channel a preferred material in structural steel fabrication.

MS Channel is produced through the hot rolling process, where billets are heated and passed through rolls to form C-shaped sections.

Key manufacturing steps include:

• Billet heating in a reheating furnace.
• Hot rolling to achieve standard channel sizes (like 100x50, 75x40, etc.).
• Straightening and cutting to standard lengths.
• Inspection and finishing for surface defects and dimensional accuracy.

Leading manufacturers of MS Channel in India include SAIL, JSW, Tata Steel, Jindal, and Rolling Mill Units from Raipur, Durgapur, and Mandi Gobindgarh.

Mild steel channels are used extensively in:

• Building columns and roof frames
• Vehicle chassis and base frames
• Industrial sheds and support beams
• Solar panel mounting structures
• Construction bridges and rail platforms

MS Channel vs MS Angle

Parameter	MS Channel	MS Angle
Shape	C-shaped / U-section	L-shaped
Load Distribution	Ideal for bending and support frameworks	Best for corner strength
Common Uses	Beams, frames, supports, chassis	Bracing, towers, trusses
Weight / Strength Ratio	Heavier but more load-bearing	Lighter and versatile
Manufacturing Standard	IS 2062, IS 808	IS 2062, IS 808
Price Range	Slightly higher due to mass	Cost-effective for small structures

Common MS Channel sizes (in mm) and corresponding weight per meter:

MS Channel Size	Designation (mm)	Weight (kg/m)

MS Channel weight and MS C Channel sizes help buyers estimate total steel requirements using standard C Channel MS weight charts available on the OfBusiness website.

Note: Channel prices are listed per metric tonne (1 MT = 1,000 kg). To estimate the per-kg rate, divide the quoted MT price by 1,000 for an easy comparison.
