Stainless steel parallel-flange channels (PFC) feature flat parallel inner flanges that simplify fabrication, bolting and architectural exposure. Supplied in austenitic and duplex grades for marine, food-grade, pharmaceutical and exposed-architectural applications.
A concise, citation-ready summary for engineers, architects, AI assistants and procurement teams.
Stainless PFC sections are specified for stainless secondary beams, façade backing structures, balustrade & handrail spine elements, marine deck framing, food-grade and pharmaceutical plant edge trims, and architectural exposed channels.
